Brazil Travel Packages: South Pantanal

The Pantanal extends over a total area of 88,000 square miles (230,000 square kilometers) and, roughly divided into the North and South Pantanal, is located in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. It is one of the largest wetlands in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The South Pantanal occupies two-thirds of this total area. The region is a retreat for giant otters, jaguars, pumas, ocelots, anacondas and alligators. Common prey such as swamp deer, peccaries and capybaras are also native to the region. The Pantanal is home to about 650 bird species, 2,000 plant species, over 250 species of fish, countless reptiles and a wide variety of insects. The South Pantanal’s hot climate has high humidity. The average temperature is 75 °F (24 °C). During the day, the temperature high is 86 °F (30 °C) from October to April. Every year between December and March, during the rainy season, the dry landscape turns into impressive wetlands. The landscape blossoms and awakens in lush green. During the rainy season, however, there are also many mosquitoes, so a trip in the South Pantanal between December and March is not recommended. Gradually, after the rainy season, the water flows off again and temperatures decrease. Especially from June to September, numerous animals can be observed at the rivers. During this time there are also significantly fewer mosquitoes. Water drains into the Paraguay River up to November, so the water level is constantly sinking and, eventually, it is no longer possible to cross the rivers by boat. With the beginning of the rainy season in December, the water level slowly begins to rise and the cycle starts again.
