About
Quick facts: Home to the world's largest tropical wetland, it spans over 170,000 square kilometers across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The region hosts an astonishing diversity of wildlife, including more than 1,000 bird species and jaguars stalking through the reeds.
Highlights: Bright pink giant river otters splash playfully in the waterways, while elusive jaguars can be spotted resting on tree branches near the riverbanks. The seasonal flooding creates a living mosaic of ecosystems, blending lakes, rivers, and lush forests in a spectacular dance of nature.
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight, breathable clothing with long sleeves to protect against insects and sun.
- Bring a zoom lens for wildlife photography to capture distant animals without disturbing them.
- Early morning and late afternoon offer the best light for photos and cooler temperatures for wildlife viewing.
- Avoid the rainy season from November to March when some areas become inaccessible due to flooding.
