On Safari in Pantanal
There are 5 ways you can do this.

1. Horseback - a great way to travel far and wide, see a lot and have the amazing experience (if you are not an experienced horse-rider) of swimming on horsback across a lake! This is what the spare pair of old shoes were needed for. In addition, the Pantaneiro saddles are very small to allow for the horses to enter water and the leather saddles not to get wet. Obviously this is a regular occurrence in the wet season.

2. Charete - horse drawn carriage. This means that the Pantanal is accessible to young children, old people and the disabled.

3. On foot - for short distances and definitely not in the heat of the day.

4. By jeep - great for seeing a lot of flora and fauna - as is horseback. Birdwatchers travel by foot, which is quieter.

5. By boat, on the river or on lakes. Boats are obviously used a lot in the wet season.
