Brazil

THE PANTANAL, BRAZIL
October 17 – October 30

The sprawling Pantanal region of Brazil encompasses 42 million acres and is the largest tropical wetland in the world. It sprawls across three South American countries, Bolivia, Brazil and Paraguay. This concentrated region presents opportunities to capture photo images of wildlife not often found in other places on this planet. Here nature is still pristine and untouched over vast areas. Because Brazil is in the Southern Hemisphere, springtime occurs in the Sept-Oct time period exactly when this tour will take place.

The tour will concentrate on visiting two Brazilian states. First is Mato Grosso Do Sul. This area is where the Southern Pan- tanal is located, and it contains many huge cattle ranches. It is sparsely populated but is home to many species of wonderful birds and other stunning, unique wildlife. You can be assured to see the Hyacinth Macaw, the largest macaw. This is the only location in the world where this magnificent macaw is found. Other bird species include the huge and elegant Jabiru Stork, Toucans, Sunbitterns, Giant Rheas, Serliema, Southern Screamer, Plumbeous Ibis, Amazon and Ringed Kingfisher, Aracari, Guans, Curassow, Parrots of all kinds, Owls and the exceptional Agami Heron with its long beak and colorful plumage.

If this list isn’t enough, unique mammal species include Capybara (largest rodents in the world), Peccary (wild boar), Giant Anteaters, Tamanduas (smaller anteater) Monkeys, Crab Eating Fox, Armadillos, Agouti, Coati and many more.

REMINDER: Please remember that you do not need to be a professional photographer to come along on this exciting photo safari. Video cameras and point and shoot or even your iPhone camera are fine to use on this trip.
