Get in

Get around

See

Do

  • Photographic safaris
  • Fishing
  • Birdwatching
  • Horseback riding
  • Hiking
  • Other tours - There is nothing ecological to The Pantanal Ecological Expedition, but it's one of the budget tours to the Pantanal. The way it is sold at the Campo Grand youth hostel can be annoying, to say the least, but it is still not a bad deal. For R$110 you camp three days in the Pantanal and activities include hiking and animal spotting, horseback riding and piranha fishing.

Eat

  • Fish. Lots of.

Drink

Stay safe

Taking some insect repellent might be a good idea.
