Cattle Ranching - Pousada Aguape
I might have given the impression that the ranch we stayed on is now only involved in eco-tourism, but this is not the case. It is principally a working cattle ranch. What the older and more experienced 'pantaneiros' think about taking tourists out and about, I can't imagine. Maybe they are just grateful that this enables them to stay living and working in an environment that they know and love.

This photo shows the type of cattle seen in Pantanal. They have to be able to cope with the dry and wet seasons.
