PANTANAL (BRAZIL)



Campo Grande is one of the places to book a tour to the Pantanal, a vast natural paradise offering a density of exotic wildlife. Getting of the bus after 16 hours we were unable to deal with a dozen harassing tour operators. instead we fled in the next reachable bar, got pissed and fell asleep at 5pm. Of course we did book our tour finally, an unforgettable experience.



Catching piranhas after swimming with them minutes before and eating them for dinner was one activity of many. We saw many birds including macaws, caymans,deer,armadillos, monkeys, capybara, otters, coatis and the highlight was the giant anteater. We also went swimming in a swamp before setting up our camp for the night. We had an awesome time!
