Brazilian wetlands – The Pantanal (Hotel Porto Norte Jofre / Jaguar Package)

The Pantanal is the largest continental flood area in the world. Approximately 210,000 km2 are spread over three countries of South America: Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil. Most of this plain (approximately 140,000km2) is in Brazilian territory in the states of Mato Grossos do Sul and Mato Grosso. Due to the geological profile provided by a water pulse, the Pantanal has two very distinct seasons, both dry and full. It is considered one of the richest places in biodiversity in the World. This ecosystem has the highest density of wildlife in the Americas, compared to the savannas of Africa.
