A Guest Post from Rafael Shiroma
Last year I had the opportunity to travel to Bonito, which this year
received the title of best city to do ecotourism. Getting you realize that the
city really deserves the title, but Pantanal is not only Bonito, there are many
other great places to visit. I decided to make a short list of the main reasons
for you to know the Pantanal.
Parque Nacional do Pantanal
In this park with more than 135 000 hectares, established in 1981, we
know the rich fauna of the region that includes animals such as reptiles and
small mammals. With luck, it is still possible to see ocelots and jaguars. The
park is in Poconé in southwestern Mato Grosso, and the best time to visit it is
during the dry season that lasts from May to October.
