Pantanal Wildlife : A Visitors Guide to Brazil's Great Wetland, Bradt Travel Guide (2nd ed. Mar. 25)

This expanded and extensively updated second edition of Bradt's Pantanal Wildlife remains the most user-friendly guidebook for ecotourists visiting South America's great wetland - according to Time magazine, 'one of the world's greatest places'. Extending across Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay, in some ways the Pantanal is the continent's equivalent of Africa's Serengeti: a vast territory brimming with abundant, exciting and photogenic wildlife. The planet's biggest wetland - 10 times larger than Florida's Everglades, 15 times that of Botswana's Okavango Delta - offers superlative wildlife-watching to enthrall novice and expert alike. In no other New World location can visitors see at point-blank range such a high number and variety of birds (670+ species), mammals (110+ species) and reptiles (50+ species). Bradt's Pantanal Wildlife remains the only portable, hard-copy guidebook to focus entirely on the South America's finest best wildlife-watching experience in South America, the only book to feature all major faunal groups - and the only guide to cover the entire Pantanal, combining up-to-date visitor advice on where to stay, tips on exactly where to look for the most exciting wildlife and insights into getting around in each of the three countries it encompasses.
