Brazil is one of the most diverse countries on earth. This vast land includes the largest tropical rainforest in the world - the Amazon - and the world's largest wetlands - the Panatal - formed at the crossing of two major rivers, the Cuiabá and Paraguay. In the south, there is the magnificient Iguacu Falls, and in between all of these are vast reaches of wide savannah.
The heart of wildlife safaris in Brazil centres around the Pantanal and the Amazon, with the Panatal being a better region to sight animals. In recent years, the Pantanal has emerged as the best place in the world to watch and photograph jaguars in the wild; this is due to lack of hunting, and a prevalence of their favourite prey, caymans and capybaras.
Along with jaguar, safaris here provide fantastic up-close sightings of giant otters, hyacinth macaws, giant anteaters and anacondas in different areas of the Pantanal.
