Travel Blogs from Campo Grande, Brazil
Capybara stampede my arse.
This is a top pick! ... place on the continent to view wildlife. At least it got the highest density. My Norwegian friend, Alf Kĺre, and I flew to Campo Grande (one of the three gateway cities to the Pantanal) from Rio, and we are getting pretty excited about what the tour ...
Gateway to the Pantanal
This is a top pick! We arrived early in Campo Grande, the gateway to the Pantanal (well one of them anyway!). As we left the bus we were accosted by the local tour agents trying to sell the benefits of their particular tour. We dutifully took the brochures and found ...
The Brazillian Pantanal
This is a top pick! We spent the last four days on the pantanal which is a flooded region of grassland in the Amazon basin. The pantanal is a land where domesticated and wild animals live side by side but a place where man can control them all if he keeps his wits about ...
Recovering in Campo Grande
This is a top pick! Hi all, There really isn't much to say or do in Campo Grande. It is just a large city used as a transport hub to reach the rest of Brazil and the Pantanal Tours. As Thomas was ill we spent two days at the hostel only emerging for food and the pharmacy so ...
A Glitch In Plans, Then Roughing It - Pantanal.
This is a top pick! ... it would be 3 flights, waiting in between time, and arriving around midnight. So we found ourselves at the Hostel Campo Grande on Saturday night which was more comfortable than the previously planned overnight locals bus and with a lovely ...
Into the Pantanal
This is a top pick! The overnight journey to Campo Grande was pretty uneventful apart from to say that you pay more in Brazil and don't get quite as much for your money as we did in Argentina!!! And no bingo in sight! Boooooo! The other thing to mention was the thunder storm ...
Lost in Translation in Sao Paolo
This is a top pick! ... to other Latin American countries, simple and relaxed. There is a mix culture of blacks, natives and European descendents here in Brazil which makes its people unique. I found myself on many occasions just stared at them trying to observe their facial ...
Things that cross the road
This is a top pick! After our failed search for a Pantanal tour in Cuiaba, we arrived in Campo Grande where everything fell quite smoothly into place. Within a few minutes of getting off the bus, we had booked a tour in our price range and settled in for a free night ...
Back to Campo Grande
This is a top pick! We wandered to the bus station in Bonito and jumped on the next bus back to Campo Grande with a super friendly bus driver! Awwww! He spoke the few words of English that he knew and we chatted back in the mix of Spanish & Portuguese that we knew and all ...
Pantanal
... the afternoon. It is located by the Aboral River close to Miranda and Paraguay Rivers. It is actually closer to corumbá than Campo Grande but logistically it makes little difference which city to travel from. The guides I had were a husband and wife ...
"Thanks, it was bloody awful!"
Campo Grande Only stopped through on the way to the Pantanal; nothing much going on in this town so we thought we would treat ourselves to a fancy Italian as suggested in the book. We had a lovely walk, and when we got there it looked promising, lovely ...
Campo Redondo - Marcelo's step-Family
... in Campo Redondo. His half sister's step-grandmothers side. They are all very lovely. Their little town in the North East of Brazil is suffering from drought right now and hasn't had any rain for about 9 months. Even the most hardy plant are dying off. ...
Out of Africa
This is it; I went from hot and water water everywhere, to simply hot. The Pantanal region of Brasil is a massive wetlands region in the southwest of the country. This year, however, it was very dry so it was more like plains, although there ...
Kolikoo zivalc!!
... je cakal se dnveni safari. Tokrat off-road. Premetavalo nas je sem in tja, ampak divje svinje vseeno nismo videli. Po (ne bom povedala,kaksnem) kosilu samo se pot v Campo Grande, kjer cakava,da bo ura 4 zjutraj, da se odpraviva na letalisce in proti ...
Entry and escape from the Pantanal
... boy didn´t it live up to the name. Despite arriving in the "dry season" it began to rain (thanks to a freakish weather system over Brazil) as we drove deep into the northern regions of the park we were staying at. It didn´t let up the whole afternoon or ...
The Pantanal Reloaded
... strange grin on its face. The Pantanal was exceptionally good for our tans, or so we thought at the time. But on returning to Campo Grande to embrace our first hot shower in four days we realised that our tan was not skin-deep - it was the Pantanal´s ...
swimming with Piranhas.. Pantanal, Brazil
... na minumu – super na pozorování zvěře plus možnost plavání s dravými piraněmi v řece:-) V Campo Grande jsme ještě ten den bukli čtyřdenní tůru do Pantanalu přes společnost, která ...
The Pantanal
Hello! Well we just arrived in Bonito this afternoon and have a few days here. But we spent the last 3 days in the Pantanal which was amazing. The first day we got there in the late afternoon so we just got to hang out in camp(literally hang, we slept in ...
Ab nach Campo Grande

Reunido com os mosquitos no The Pantanal
... cities of Salvador, Rio and Sao Paulo I've forgotten what a novelty I am for the locals. Either way I arrived in Campo Grande fairly well rested and headed for a hostel/tourist agency nearby. After deciding against jumping straight onto a tour ...
Camping in the Pantanal
... the fancy bus so its not so comfortable as the last overnight one. the bus stops many many times and i continue the confused "Campo Grande" question over and over, until finally thankfully i arrive around 9 am. so i am swarmed by travel agents when ...
Bonito and the Pantanal
... and the river very pristene. After Bonito we travelled on the the southern region of the pantanal (a large wetland bordering Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguauy). We originally wanted to visit the northern region of the Pantanal as it is supposed to be less ...
Le Pantanal, a la recherche de l'anaconda!
super experience que ces 4j dans la jungle infestee de moustiques plus voraces les uns que les autres. Une centaine de piqures au total mais peu d'importance en comparaison du plaisir de s'endormir chaque nuit au son des singes hurleurs et autres ...
The Pantanal was awesome!
... we went horseriding very early, but didn´t see a single wild animal! but it was good fun any way. Then we headed back to Campo Grande for our free night in the hostel included in our trip! A private room with a bathroom no less....luxury! Now we are ...
The Pantanal
... America, it is roughly the size of France and is said to be the best place to see wildlife in South America. We left Iguazu for Campo Grande, which took us 16 hrs. As soon as we stepped out of the bus we were mobbed by agents trying to sell us tours. As ...

Wild in the Jungle!
... to offer for the money plus as we had missed the daily transfer they were happy to include a night of accommodation at their hostel in Campo Grande. I think in the end we paid 280 R for 4 days including all transfers, accommodation in a 6 bed dorm with a ...
Das Pantanal.
... eine Flaeche von 230.000 Quadratmetern und ist einfach nur traumhaft-Natur pur! Gebucht haben wir eine 4 tages-Tour von Campo Grande, was nicht sehr preiswert war. Aber Brasilien gehoert generell zu den etwas teureren Laendern Suedamerikas. Von einem ...
