The Pantanal has an area of approximately 87.000 square miles and its ecosystems are one of the most balanced and interactive on the globe. Embedded in Central Brazil, it is cut across by the Paraguay River and it's tributaries. This river is the largest floodplain of America, with altitudes ranging from 243 to 455 ft; it is surrounded by highlands and mountain ranges.

Photo by Araquém AlcântaraPantanal is one of the greatest sites in the world for wildlife watching, not only because of the extraordinary pulsating life of its fauna, but also because the vegetation is widely open, what makes it easy for observation.

The rainfall of the Pantanal and the climate as a whole are similar to those of semi arid regions, with two well-defined seasons: one dry (mid April to October) and one rainy (November to mid April). At the beginning of the rainy season the water is quickly absorbed, but later on the soil gradually becomes waterlogged. Plant-covered ponds, pools and baías start forming and new watercourses of widely varying sizes are formed. Swimming along with the current, many animals seek refuge on these patches of dry land. A new phase begins in the yearly cycle of the Pantanal.

It is an ecosystem in a constant process of transformation. Home of a complex combination of animals and vegetable communities, its future depends on the balance between its various life forms.
