Patanal


Well, from the Brazil side, the Patanal looks pretty nice.


Lots of low-lands and few trees for the animals to hide behind.


Kayla & Ray managed to get stuck for five hours, but did get to see more birds




Our river tour included some time for fishing. It may not look big, but Heather is holding a Pirahana


A cool birds nest and tons of water lillies.


A fisherman's shack and we saw loads of different birds.
The Patanal is supposed to be THE place for wildlife viewing - no jungle to hide in. Well, we did see lots of different birds, do some fishing and we saw a few animals (otter, fox, ant eater), but I wouldn't say loads. I'd have to say this is the first trip we were disappointed in. Not a total loss, but for the money and distance, not worth it.
