Amazon, Savanna and Pantanal 3 ecosystems
8 days / 7 nights
Mato Grosso is the only state in Brazil with 3 different ecosystems within its borders and quite close from Cuiaba and its airport. Visit the Amazon Rain Forest southern border just 290 km NW from Cuiabá, snorkel amidst fish, visit astonishing waterfalls and rock formations at Chapada dos Guimaraes (Savanna) just 67 km NE from Cuiaba in the South America Geodesic Centre and explore the wilderness of Northern Pantanal. The mythical Amazon can only be described in superlatives. It is the largest and most preserved rainforest region in the world. The heartland of Brazil covers an area of 2,000,000 sq km, and its original vegetation is called “Cerrado”, considered the richest savanna in the world, due to its high plant diversity and endemism. Most of Brazil’s great rivers find their sources here. It’s an area of enormous ecological importance with many areas of spectacular beauty, as the National Park of Chapada dos Guimarães, only 55km North East from Cuiabá airport. The Pantanal, one of the last great wildernesses, is the largest continuous wetland on the planet, declared a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, is South America’s primary wildlife sanctuary.
