Brazil - Pantanal

Yacare Caiman

Brazil - Pantanal

Just returned from a fantastic trip to Brazil - first time visit to this country and very impressed with what I found - getting around was relatively straightforward with airports operating well - once on the road we managed to get where we wanted to go without too many delays although getting out of Rio was interesting (2 hours and it wasn't even rush-hour!) lets hope that they have a system in place when they host the World Cup and Olympics!!

After testing out the local hospital services (insect bite) the photography was good - plenty of species within lens reach along the roadside and over the 120 odd bridges taking us down into the Pantanal. (I use the term, bridges, loosely as they are planks of timber across water!) Tarmac road up to Picone and then a very good dirt-road down to the Cuiaba River where we stayed for four days. This is where we saw this Yacare Caiman who was keeping his eye on us!!!
