There are two well-defined seasons in the Pantanal: one dry (May to September) and one rainy (December to March). Wildlife is generally better seen in the Pantanal and Amazon in the dry season, which is a more pleasant time to travel, and when bugs are minimal.
We design each itinerary around you, so this suggested itinerary is a starting point that we can tweak or transform into something completely bespoke to you. To start planning your holiday
