No visit to Brazil would be complete without a visit to THE PANTANAL, 150.000 kmē of wetlands in the heart of South America. It is the largest wetland area in the world, known for its rich variety of unspoiled plant and wildlife.
A
visitor to the Pantanal will be struck by a vast number of species difficult
to find anywhere else in the world. And because the landscape of the Pantanal
is open - and not dense like the rainforest - wildlife is particularly easy
to spot. Why Green~Track?
Unlike other agencies, where the person you speak with is not the person who takes you into the Pantanal, Green~Track is a cooperative union of local guides. All of our guides grew up in the region, and have highly specialised knowledge of the area. Each of our tours is constructed on an individual basis, and can contain hiking, horseback riding and boat expeditions. Accommodations can also be arranged according to the group’s wishes, ranging from camping in tents to comfortable indoor lodging.
The Green~Track Base Camp is located in the area between the Nhecolandia, being the highest part of the Pantanal, and the Rio Negro being the lowest, covering an area of 38.000 hectares. Due to this change in landscape, you will experience the different habitats within the Pantanal, changing from Savannah to Gallery forests and Meanderform rivers.
The Green~Track Tours into the Pantanal are well organised and informative, they are available for 3 or more days. Half of the first and last day of the tour will be taken up by travelling to and from the Base camp by truck, where numerous animals and birds can be seen on route. Once at the Base camp all tours are carried out on foot, because it's being the best way to observe the animals within their natural environment, with minimal disturbance.
