Pantanal
If you want to come close to wildlife in a very convenient way, Pantanal is definitely the destination for you. Here you can explore the wetlands by boat and you will see millions of birds. A bird watcher's paradise!
To reach the wetlands you have to travel along a 150 kilometer long gravel road with hundreds of wooden bridges. The road is called Transpantaneira. You will spot a lot of wildlife from the car.
We spent one week in the area onboard a house boat and during the days we travelled up the rivers in a smaller boat, searching for jaguars. We were so lucky and spotted two jaguars!

A tucan.
Another species of tucan.
Howler monkey.
