What's this trip about?

    The Pantanal is the best wildlife destination in all the Americas! And not only because of its incredible diversity and wealth of animals, but also because wildlife is relatively tame here. Cattle ranches have occupied this land for centuries, but they were traditionally so huge that there was plenty of space for men and nature to give way to, and get used to each other. As a consequence of this, the indescribably beautiful Hyacinth Macaw lands just a few meters from our lenses, giant otters roam the river banks, capybaras graze peacefully on the pasture and in the lakes, and the jabiru, the world’s tallest flying bird guards the scene like an aging director.
