With the highest concentration of wildlife in South America, the Pantanal is a nature lover’s paradise, ideal for spotting jaguars, anteaters, capybaras, caimans, and hundreds of bird species in open landscapes that offer far better viewing than the dense Amazon.
Nowhere on Earth offers a better chance to see wild jaguars. In the southern Pantanal, sightings are frequent and close, thanks to conservation efforts like Onçafari.
Beyond incredible wildlife, the Pantanal offers rich cultural experiences, horseback rides with pantaneiros, traditional cuisine, and golden sunsets in a pristine, peaceful ecosystem. Explore by boat, foot, or safari vehicle and connect with Brazil’s natural and cultural heart.
