The Pantanal
The Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland area, a flat landscape, with gently sloping and meandering rivers. The region, whose name derives from the Portuguese word “pântano” (meaning “swamp” or “marsh” ), is situated in South America, mostly within the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. There are also small portions in Bolivia and Paraguay. In total, the Pantanal covers about 150,000 square kilometers (58,000 sq mi). The Pantanal floods during the wet season, submerging over 80% of the area, and nurturing the world's richest collection of aquatic plants. It is thought to be the world’s most dense flora and fauna ecosystem.

Earth of a red ocher, a penetrating green bottle, endless marshes, that it is the decoration. This extensive flooded plain, declared world patrimony, it doesn't request another thing that to reveal their extraordinary biodiversity. With their false African airs, it is a true explosion of colors, screams and wings that it waits him, an unique animal Kingdom in the world, within reach of the hand.
You grieve you have interned to Marshland for one of the strange upward roads without paving, it welcomes him and it invites it to their domains the clumsy Jabiru (from their height of a meter and hooded of black); it is the symbol of Marshland. This bird so big is not more than a formidable specimen among a multitude of species that they inhabit this region happily where any human activity doesn't exist!
