Brazil: Pantanal Photo Tour

The world-famous Pantanal, a huge seasonal wetland the size of Texas, offers some of the best wildlife viewing in the world. We have timed this tour for the dry season, so birds are concentrated in the areas where there is still standing water. The feeding frenzies of hundreds of herons, ibis, storks, terns, screamers, jacanas, vying with dozens of hungry caiman offer truly unforgettable spectacles and amazing photo-ops. A sure highlight will be the huge electric blue Hyacinth Macaws, truly one of the world’s most spectacular birds, and we see them in good numbers, up close, on most tours. However, for many, the crown jewel of this tour is to see and photograph the mighty Jaguar in its native habitat. This is arguably the best place in the world to find this unforgettable animal, and we’ll spend parts of three days cruising remote rivers searching for it along with other animals like Giant Otter and Brazilian Tapir.
