What to do in Northern Pantanal

With adventure in spades, the Northern Pantanal draws visitors to its soggy plains for an up-close wildlife encounter. Your primary form of safari-ing will be by boat, where you’ll scan the riverbanks for everything from capybaras to sunning caimans. Jaguars will likely be at the top of your list and you’re in luck, this region has one of the highest densities on Earth. Other activities include jeep drives and guided walks, horseback rides and catch-and-release piranha fishing.
