Join Hawks Aloft for the expedition of a lifetime! The Pantanal in central-western Brazil is the world’s largest freshwater wetland and one of the most biodiverse habitats on the South American continent. The star residents are jaguars that roam, hunt, and lounge on the forested riverbanks. Hyacinth Macaw, the world’s largest parrot, is abundant in the Pantanal with about 3,000 individuals that dine on fruits and nuts and nest in naturally hollow manduvi trees.
Our exceptional 15-day adventure also includes close range views of ocelot, giant anteater, maned wolf, capybara, tamandua, giant otters and more. Birdlife is extraordinary with species like the Jabiru, Greater Rhea, and Toco Toucan. We will explore on foot and small-boat excursions, with several nights aboard comfortable floating accommodations that put us in the heart of the action.
This trip was developed especially for Hawks Aloft based on your member requests. It has been four years in the planning and included a personal visit by Pelin Karaca, vice-president of Holbrook who has traveled the world. Her words to Gail Garber, following her visit were, “It WAS the trip of a lifetime!”
