Birds & Wildlife of Northern Pantanal & Cerrado

Exploring the Subtropical Wetlands & Dry Savannas of Brazil

July 10th to 21st, 2023

Covering over 142,500 sq. kilometres, the Pantanal is about the size of the state of Georgia in the USA. Located in the middle of the continent on the Brazil-Bolivia border, its lowland plains are characterized by pronounced wet and dry seasons. Habitats range from semi-deciduous and evergreen forests to palm woodlands and true Pantanal (seasonally flooded grasslands with scattered clumps of Cerrado scrub on elevated patches of land). An enormous number of lakes and rivers dot and cross the region, constantly cleansing and renewing the wetlands.
