The Pantanal
The Pantanal is one the world's greatest wetlands and in many ways is better for wildlife-viewing than the Amazon (where the rainforest is too thick to spot animals easily). It was a highlight of my entire trip! I saw heaps. A big part of it was our ...

It appears that Brazil is low on campgrounds except for a few strategically placed Club Do Brazil Campgrounds and on our route there may be one. The alternatives are wild camping and truck stops or in the worst case hotels. Thankfully, the truckstops ...
