Brazil Amazon & Pantanal
The Amazon is a gigantic system of rivers and forests, covering almost half of Brazil and spills into neighbouring countries. To this day, major tributaries of the Amazon are still unexplored. Of the estimated 15,000 species of Amazon creatures, thousands of birds, fish and hundreds of mammals have also still not been classified. The most common starting point to reach the Amazon is Manaus. The Amazon may be more famous, but the Pantanal is considered to be a far better place to see wildlife. About half the size of France, it ' s the largest wetland on the planet and lies in the far west of Brazil. Birds are the most frequently seen wildlife, but the Pantanal is also a sanctuary for giant river otters, anacondas, iguanas, jaguars, cougars, crocodiles, deer and anteaters.
