CAT’s Pantanal tours take you into the vast expanse of Brazil’s tropical wetlands in the far west of the country. Protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Pantanal is about the size of Portugal and has few people and no towns. During the rainy season (Dec-May), 80% of the area is submerged under floodwaters which nurture an astonishing diversity of plant and animal life. Class Adventure Travel offers a range of luxury Pantanal travel packages with horse riding and boat trips around the area, and the chance to see some of its spectacular wildlife, including giant river otters, iguanas, crocodiles, cougars, deer and anteaters.
