The Pantanal, formerly known as the Laguna de Jarayes, is the largest wetland in the world. The region, whose name derives from the Portuguese word "pântano" (meaning "swamp"), is located in South America, mostly in Brazil, but also encompassing parts of Bolivia and Paraguay. It covers a total area of 150,000 km².
The Pantanal floods during the rainy season, submerging 80% of its territory. As a result, the Pantanal boasts the world's richest collection of aquatic plants. It is believed to have the densest flora and fauna ecosystem in the world. However, the area is often overshadowed by the Amazon rainforest.
