THE PANTANAL

There’s not much to say about the Pantanal, except for the fact that it is the world’s single largest piece of tropical wetland. Given its nature, it is also home to some of the largest flooded grasslands in the whole planet. Quite an expansive land by heart, it stretches over 140,000 to 195,000 square kilometres - yes it’s quite expansive!

You can only imagine the rich flora and fauna that can be found residing at the heart of the Pantanal. In fact, the name itself is derived from the Portuguese word, ‘Pāntano’ which literally translates to meaning either a swamp or a wetland.
