THE PANTANAL - THE ECOLOGICAL RESERVE

The PANTANAL - Paraguay

Internationally recognized as the biggest ecological reserve in the world with an area of more than 230 000 km2 in the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul near the geodesic center of South America. The PANTANAL is more than three times bigger than the surfaces of Belgium and Switzerland together.
The PANTANAL gives shelter to an innumerable variety of Flora and Fauna, which will marvel every visitor. Millions of birds of different species, mammals, marsupials reptiles and an infinite fish population are witnesses of an unperturbed ecological system. To appreciate such abundant natural resources it is absolutely necessary to approach to the sites where you can still observe wild animals by car.

In the PANTANAL the animals, which elsewhere in the world You will find only as singular individuals in some zoological gardens, are not shy at all because they did not learn to fear the humans who harmed them on other places in the world. The observation of nature requires time and patience - the following two excursions are not for people, who want to know the PANTANAL in only two days!
