Brazil’s Pantanal: A place of superlatives. Home to the world’s largest fresh-water wetlands, the Pantanal is ten- times the size of the Everglades, draining into a single channel: the Paraguay River. We venture deep into this world-class wildlife hotspot on a long road that bisects the Transpantaneira wilderness, in search of an adventure that can’t be missed.
Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is truly a jewel of the Continent. Designated as a World Biosphere Reserve, it is a complex region of tropical and subtropical rainforest, tropical dry forest, tropical savanna, semi deciduous and mangrove forests. It extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from sea level up into montane forest at Serra do Mar. The Atlantic Forest currently spans over 4000 km2 along the coast of Brazil and is characterized by enormous biodiversity. Long isolated from other major rainforest zones in South America, the Atlantic Forest has an extremely diverse and unique mix of vegetation and forest types inducing high specialization levels which make it a unique endemic hotspot.
