Pantanal - where is it?
Basically - miles away - right in the interior of Brazil, almost in Bolivia. It took us a whole day's travelling to get there and when we did get there we were amazed to find that the time there is an hour behind the time in Florianopolis.

The journey involved a flight to Sao Paulo first, then a second flight to Campo Grande, then a 200 kilometre bus journey north west to Pousada Aguape, a cattle ranch where we stayed for four days. The last 54 kilometres of this journey was on a rough red earth road.
