In touch with the wild
The massive Serra da Bodoquena National Park covers 190,330 acres and is a protected part of the Pantanal that’s open for exploration while still protecting its diverse flora, fauna, and natural wonders.
Home to caymans, jaguars, capybaras, and giant anteaters, a visit to the park reminds you that you’re a guest in their habitat, taking in the same scenery, smells, and sounds these fantastic animals do. Butterflies and macaws compete to highlight their beautiful colors, and the endangered giant river otters hunt and play in its waters.
Visiting the park is as much an adventure into the wild as it is a way to support conservation efforts, add value to the animals’ lives, and prevent poaching.
