Brazil Pantanal Birding & Wildlife Tour


Itinerary – Available Upon Request!

This 7-day Pantanal birding tour explores one of the most wildlife-rich regions on Earth. Brazil’s Pantanal is the largest tropical wetland in the world, famed for its incredible abundance of birds, mammals, and unforgettable close-range wildlife encounters.

Our route focuses on the northern Pantanal along the legendary Transpantaneira Road, one of South America’s most productive wildlife corridors. This unique environment offers unparalleled access to wetlands, gallery forests, marshes, and open savanna habitats, all teeming with life.

Daily birding includes both morning and afternoon sessions whenever possible, with frequent stops along the road to maximize wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.

Expect large concentrations of waterbirds, raptors, parrots, kingfishers, and storks, along with excellent chances to observe mammals such as Capybara, Giant Otter, and with luck, Jaguar.

With expert guiding and a fun, relaxed atmosphere, expect an impressive species list and constant wildlife action.

This tour is designed to maximize sightings while allowing time to fully enjoy the spectacle of the Pantanal.
