A fragile landscape

The Pantanal is a paradise on our planet as well as an extremely fragile place: between its immaculate sand carpet, its pearly shells, its endless lianas like green hair, its multicolored fishes, the Pantanal has curiosities that must be approached with caution.

As a dream about ending, you must visit this region carefully, focus on its details, its beauties; monkey cries, animal songs such as capybara (one of the world’s largest rodents) and especially birds such as Touyouy (a great symbol of the region) or the legendary Ara hyacinthe which is surely the largest parrot in the world, but also in the morning-fishers, herons, nozzles, eagles, the calm and sinuous streams of water, the Pantanal approaches gently, not wolves, or rather jaguar.
