It's not Amazon, it's something even better! This tropical wetland (worlds largest wetland!) area next to the Bolivian border of Brazil is definately a place to visit if you want to see some animals and enjoy the camping spirit! At least on our tour (Ecological Expedition, booked from Campo Grande) you will sleep on hammocks next to Rio Grande river right next to hundreds of alligators.. It's a funny feeling pointing your flashlight towards the river during the nighttime.. You will see the glowing eyes of the alligators. During the daytime there are some nice walks and treks where you will see some wild animals and plants. There are small forest areas here and there in this large flat swamp area and all of the animals are packed there. Therefore spotting the animals is very easy and they can't practically run away too far :) On one day we had our trek with horses (this is the wild west of Brazil!) and were chasing a giant anteater thought the forest area. You will also see lots of quatis, anacondas and other snakes, spiders (maybe even in your shoe!), birds etc. This has been the best and most exotic nature trip so far!
