Pantanal
Lagoons in the Desert

Pantanal is an ecological paradise, one of Brazil's most important natural reserves and the largest wetland area on the planet with the highest concentration of wildlife in the Americas. The rainy season is from December / March - due to the intense rain, the Pantanal gets flooded. The vegetation is exuberant and the temperature Is high. Mammals seek refuge on the higher grounds with tall trees known as "Cordilheiras". This is the nesting time for many species of birds. The Intermediary season is from April / June - in April the water level starts to recede and fish become trapped in ponds and small lakes attracting thousands of birds. The dry season is July / November - It is the best time for wildlife observation. The dry field makes good grazing areas. From August on, most trees are in bloom. The peak of the dry season is in October when the Pantanal resembles a dry African Savannah.

What is the best season to visit the Pantanal?:

This is a common question for someone considering going to the Pantanal. The contrast of the seasons makes it attractive the whole year. Normally, mammals can be observed in the dry period (from June to September), when the animals have to come out to look for food and can easily be observed during the outings. At this time the temperature is agreeable, which makes the tours very pleasant. During the full season (from December to March), the Pantanal is completely flooded, making the landscape even more lively. This is the best time to observe birds, especially migratory ones. Although transportation becomes more difficult in most areas, road access is possible throughout the year. In the full season, the temperature is higher, especially in the months of December and January. To take full advantage of your visit to the Pantanal, choose the season that matches your interests the best.

We suggest, if possible, that you make two visits to the Pantanal, one in the dry season and another in the full season. This is the only way possible to see the contrasts between the seasons and widen your vision about this magic place that marvels and enchants even the most demanding visitors.
