Discovering the World’s Largest Tropical Wetland

The Pantanal is the world’s largest tropical wetland, spanning around 210,000 square kilometers across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. Known for its stunning biodiversity, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including jaguars, caimans, capybaras, giant otters, and hundreds of bird species. The Pantanal landscape transforms dramatically with seasonal flooding, creating a dynamic ecosystem ideal for ecotourism, safaris, and birdwatching. The region is a paradise for nature lovers, wildlife photographers, and adventurers eager to experience one of the most pristine wetland ecosystems on Earth. It is a seasonal floodplain, with annual cycles of rainfall transforming the landscape from dry savannas to lush wetlands, making it one of the richest habitats for wildlife in the world.

    WELCOME TO PANTANAL

    Arrive at Cuiaba airport. Drive to Pantanal. The first half of the journey is on a paved road along farms and cattle ranches. After reaching Poconé – we take the Transpantaneira Park Road. This road allows us to drive above the water level, watching the flora and fauna of the Pantanal ecosystem. It’ll be a photo safari along 32 km of dirt road with several stops along the way for photos and information. Upon reaching, proceed for a guided introductory walk through the surroundings of the lodge. Then, continue to the Great Egret Lookout, a 12m/39ft high observation tower. Post dinner, proceed for a night walk under the Southern Hemisphere sky. Overnight stay in the lodge.

    CANOEING AND TREKKING

    After breakfast, take a photo safari through private dirt roads towards the Clarinho River. Reaching its banks, board a canoe and paddle down the river exploring the forest that grows by the riverbanks and mangroves. Here, lives a colony of “ariranhas” – giant river otters. With some luck, you may spot a family playing with their babies and teaching them how to swim and fish. The chance of fishing the elusive piranha, not an easy task, but fun. Return to the Lodge for lunch. Later, trek the Howler Monkey trail to the Howler Monkey Tower, highest observation point (25 m high) for a magnificent view of the sunset. After dinner, join a night drive in search of nocturnal animals. Overnight stay in the lodge.

The largest flying bird in the Americas, jabiru storks are often found in the marshlands of the Pantanal. It grows 4 to 5 feet tall and has a wingspan of 9 to 12 feet. The nests are woven platforms from large branches measuring as much as 10 ft across. Jabiru storks are strong fliers that can soar like vultures. Return to the Lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

    While selecting the tour agency for a trip, one asks “why WOW?” But after travelling ,one realizes that Wow is not just a travel agency---it is a travel family. The care and the exclusive hands-on experiences are something to be remembered even after the trip—be it dancing the Samba, a five star picnic lunch with snow-capped Andes range as companions, being photographed with the Llamas or tasting the local brews, such as Kashasa(Brazil), Pisco(Peru) or Singani(Bolivia)….even learning how to make a cocktail of perfect potency!! And of course the Wow buddy….a friend and a dependable companion. What makes her tick? This has been my second travelling experience with Vithika Solanki - and she has proved her worth.
