The Amazon may be better known but the Pantanal is, in many ways, a better place to encounter South America’s diverse wildlife. The dense jungle growth of the Amazon is fascinating but it can make wildlife observation more difficult. In contrast, the open wetlands of the Pantanal are ideal for birdwatching and observing a variety of animals in their natural habitat. In fact, the Pantanal has the largest concentration of flora and fauna in the Americas and is home to fascinating species like Brazilian otters, alligators, blue macaws, parrots, toucans and Capybaras.   To immerse you in the wonders of the Pantanal, a variety of included excursions are offered here at Casa Caiman. Joining other guests and an expert naturalist, here are some of the adventures you can enjoy today, according to the lodge schedule:  Photographic Safari: Embark on an adventure in open 4x4 vehicles as we explore diverse landscapes in search of wildlife. Get ready for unexpected surprises and unforgettable moments at every turn! Canoe tour: Paddle at a relaxed pace through our bay, taking in the vibrant colors of the sunset and the breathtaking scenery that will leave you with unforgettable memories. Meals B+L+D
