The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland, located primarily in Brazil, but also extending into Bolivia and Paraguay. Covering around 150,000 square kilometers, it is known for its rich biodiversity, including numerous species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and fish. The region experiences seasonal flooding, which creates a unique ecosystem that supports both aquatic and terrestrial life.
This vast area is home to iconic wildlife such as the Jaguar, Capybara, and Giant River Otter. The Pantanal is also significant for its role in water purification and flood control. It attracts ecotourism, offering opportunities for wildlife observation and photography.
