The Pantanal. When wildlife and Brazil are mentioned in the same sentance the first place that springs to mind is the Amazon. But if you actually want to see the animals the Pantanal is the place to go. It is the world's largest wetland and covers some 210,000 sq km. Bolivia and Paraguay have small parts of it but the huge majority is all Brazil. Most of the Pantanal is privately owned but cooperation between eco-tourism and the landowners (mostly cattle farmers) has contributed to the sustainable conservation of this magical place.
