Tourism

In principle, we would like to hold tight that we speak in our description of the total area of the Pantanal, so state spreading, the heisst: the Pantanal country also spreading of Mato Grosso, inclusive of Mato Grosso do Sul, and at the general descriptions: on the part of Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia.

From the 120,000 tourists who go to the Pantanal per annum because of his beauty spots (in this case Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul) are 70 % foreigners: Wants Germans, Swiss, Spanish in the majority, which one know the fauna and flora of this ecological Sanktuariums to study. The majority of these foreign tourists is recruited by travel agencies in her native countries. The demand increased just after this one "ECO 92" when nature shields and initiates of the environmental tourism had got aware of Brazil. With an increasing trend the Pantanal is included in her tour programme by these foreign guests besides the rather traditional tourist objectives of Brazil, like Rio, Bahia and Iguaçú, today. (He is smaller than the part of north Mato-Grosso be with numbers, cover this one of the federal state Mato Grosso do Sul that the part of the Pantanal there, comes onto an annual balance sheet of USD 60 million turnover - the complete tourism lies in this federal state at USD 100 million)! The length of stay of a visitor in the Pantanal is on an average 5 days, a number which is two and a half foldly more highly than for example at a visit of Foz Do Iguaçú. The expenses per head of a foreign tourist are by USD 250 - this is almost the triple of what at other objectives the guest on an average issues, namely USD 85.

The gates are "Campo Grande" in the southeast, "Corumbá" in the southwest and "Cuiabá" in the north, for a visit of the Pantanal. Far scattered Lodges can offer a very simple tourist infrastructure to small groups of visitors which cannot be compared with the structure by Amazon Lodges generally, we also recommend only some, these in the comparison with the others Pantanal-Lodges, therefore in this region belong to top accommodations. Happens also from consideration on the protected fauna that they nevertheless offer only for small groups of position?

Northern Pantanal

It represents a third of the complete Pantanal area while about two thirds are allotted to the south. And we would like to emphasize that we would not like certainly to give the southern Pantanal the advantage. On the contrary: the north Pantanal is overrun less, the animals have already noticed this, too. We prefer all in all the north Pantanal for our recommendations to arrange creative individual tour combinations also therefore, the heisst, because we can work here with experts in the job who let ourselves be collapsed a little for her guests. Furthermore the Lodges with which we work have specialized in foreign guests and take no native tourists or angler by whose uneinsichtiges, noisy behaviour other visitors could feel disturbed (unfortunately, what led to complaints) before this regulation.

The most important and at the best infrastrukturierte entrance to the north Pantanal is the capital Cuiabá which you can approach from all towns of Brazil. Although another 100 km from the Pantanal remote there are all possible means of transport, around comfortably and fast join.

Luggage

Here you can buy nothing in the Pantanal, therefore you come prepared well, please: Your stay probably in the low tide/dry season will fall since - between May until October, you match your clothes with warm days and quite cool nights. Long trousers and long-sleeved shirts and blouses are an effective protection against mosquitos. Don't worry: they do not bother one too much at this time! We recommend to "Repelex" (in every chemist's shop in Brazil available) as a good remedy for putting cream. You would be armed already very well a headgear as protection against the sun, sunglasses, light, rain cold clothes, gym shoe or light boots, a jumper for cool evenings - with that. To be able to get up before sunrise a useful addition would be field glasses, a strong pocket torch and a travel clock. And you do not forget to equip your camera with a telephoto lens: 300 mm suffice to get picture filling to the not too shy animals.
