Brazil Tours
We will explore two of this country’s most celebrated and awe-inspiring ecosystems, the verdant Amazon rainforest, replete with a diversity of life rivaled nowhere else on our planet and the bountiful Pantanal, where wildlife viewing compares well with the African savannas. Our tour takes us in search of creatures such as the Brazilian Tapir, Giant Anteater, herds of Capybaras, Marsh Deer, family groups of Giant River Otters, Brown Throated Three- toed Sloth and of course the Jaguar. An extension to Emas National Park offers an opportunity to see endangered Maned Wolf along with a host of bird species and other fauna and flora including the possibility of Puma.
