The Pantanal was our first experience of Brazil. We spent three days there, sleeping in hammocks (not the most comfortable of things!) practically in the open air and eating lots of carbohydrates! Our experince in the Pantanal was good for neither our bowels or our feet! However it was an unforgettable experience.
