Pantanal, Tropical wetland in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil
The Pantanal spans 195,000 square kilometers across Brazil, containing interconnected marshes, grasslands, rivers, and lakes that flood during seasonal rains.
The region formed during the Tertiary period through geological processes connected to the formation of the Andes, creating a complex water drainage system.
Local ranchers maintain traditional practices passed through generations, managing cattle on natural pastures while protecting the wetland ecosystem.
The dry season between April and September presents optimal conditions for wildlife observation, with specialized guides leading boat tours through water channels.
This wetland houses 463 bird species, 269 fish species, and 236 mammal species, including South America's densest population of jaguars.
