We in the Pantanal realize that our land is special. By offering Pantanal wildlife tours, we share one of the richest and most bio-diverse areas of our planet with our guests. The Pantanal contains broad stretches of plains and wetlands. The roads and rivers are the easiest way to travel to spot wildlife. During a Pantanal wildlife tour we take full advantage of sightseeing by car and boat. Along with options to travel on horseback and by foot, these four methods of experiencing the rich wildlife ensure that our guests fulfill their goals.
