The Pantanal

Caiman

The pantanal is a wetland with largest animal population in South America. To get there you go to Campo Grande and take a tour for the amount of days you want to be out.. Sammy and I went for 4 days and had a great time fishing for Pirahnas and animal watching. The only set back were the mosquitos I have never seen so many and there is not enough "off" in the world to want to live there. Well enouth of that..
