Brazil’s Pantanal – 10 Reasons to Join Art Wolfe in November!

I’ll be leading a tour in Brazil’s Pantanal this November, and spaces remain to join us on this epic tour of wildlife and culture! We’ve got great people on the ground ready to help us achieve some unique one-in-a-lifetime opportunities – this will be a Pantanal trip like no other!

Here are a few highlights and reasons to join me in the wilds of South America this fall –

1. Escape late fall and winter to the comfort of the southern hemisphere – November is when this region begins to warm up.
2. Escape the election nonsense – I’m sure by the time mid November rolls around, we will all want to unplug a bit!
3. Immerse yourself in one of the world’s most diverse wildlife regions: 463 species of birds and 236 species of mammals, not to mention reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

   

4. Stay in a floating lodge with spacious rooms to view ocelots, tapirs, giant otters, and jaguars, sightings of which are guaranteed by our expert guides.
5. Photograph from Jaguar boats that are specially designed for photographers with rotating seats and camera mounts.
6. Photograph and take an optional horseback ride with the iconic pantaneiros—the cowboys of the Pantanal—as they go about their daily activities.

   

7. Photograph flocks of macaws flying at eye level and below you as you stand at the edge of a 450 foot deep limestone sinkhole.
8. Snorkel with piraputangas, colorful South American trout, in crystal clear springs.
9. Closely observe giant anteaters, some of the strangest and most beautiful animals on the planet.

   

10. Art Wolfe has photographed in Brazil’s Pantanal numerous times and worked with the same local guides for his PBS series Travels to the Edge.
