Why The Pantanal

The Pantanal is the planet's largest tropical wetland — and, for sheer concentration of wildlife, the best place in the Americas to see it. Open country and river channels mean animals are out in the open, not hidden in dense jungle.

This is where to come for jaguars, capybaras, hyacinth macaws and caimans by the hundred. We arrange the lodges, boats and guides that put you in the right place at the right hour.

  • JaguarsThe Pantanal is the world's best place to see wild jaguars, especially along the rivers.
  • CapybarasThe world's largest rodent, grazing the wetlands in families.
  • Hyacinth macawsBrilliant cobalt-blue parrots — the largest flying parrot on Earth.
  • Caimans & ottersCaimans line the banks; giant river otters fish the channels.
  • Safari boat tripsDrift the rivers at dawn and dusk for the best sightings.
  • Spectacular birdlifeToucans, jabiru storks and hundreds more species.

Best time to go

The dry season (roughly July–October) concentrates wildlife along shrinking rivers and offers the best jaguar sightings; the green wet season brings lush landscapes and exceptional birdlife.

Accessibility

Pantanal lodges and safari vehicles vary; we'll be honest about terrain and confirm what's workable for each traveler before booking.
