Hotels in Pantanal, Brazil

Pantanal is a vast tropical wetland in western Brazil, famous for having the world's densest population of jaguars and caimans. The climate has a dry winter from May to October with temperatures around 75°F (24°C), perfect for wildlife safaris on dirt roads and boat trips along the Paraguay River, and a wet summer from November to April with highs near 90°F (32°C), when flooded plains give you unique kayak access to giant otters and capybaras. During the dry season, you can spot jaguars along the Cuiabá River, while the rainy months bring lush landscapes and fewer tourists for cheaper lodging.
