We flew from Manaus to Cuiaba then drove on the Transpantaneira highway to stay at a 'fazenda" in the Pantanal Wildlife Reserve. The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland area with 600 bird species including waders, toucan, heron, stork, ducks, 350 varieties of fish, animals like capivara, Agouti, monkeys, frogs, crab eating foxes, horses, cattle, thousands of Jacare caiman and lots of buzzing insects.
