Pantanal Wildlife Center

Located in central-western Brazil, the Pantanal is a UK-sized mosaic of seasonally-flooded savannahs and tropical forests that offers the finest wildlife viewing in Latin America.

This area harbors a world-record 82 species of large birds, 3,000-5,000 of which can be seen during a 1 h car ride on the raised Transpantaneira Road, the only all-year route that penetrates the heart of this enormous wildland. This uniquely fauna-rich route starts only 75 min by car from Cuiabá.
