The Pantanal, located mainly in the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul, is the world’s largest tropical wetland and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region is a biodiversity hotspot, home to jaguars, capybaras, caimans, and hundreds of bird species, making it a premier destination for wildlife watching. During the dry season, the Pantanal becomes more accessible for eco-tourism, with activities such as boat safaris, horseback riding, and birdwatching tours.
