The area offers excellent opportunities to see blue-and-yellow and red-and-green macaws, giant anteaters, and southern tamanduas. The deep roar of howler monkeys often echoes across the landscape, and time spent with the lodge owners reveals their deep respect for nature as a way of life. With more dry land than the northern Pantanal, this region provides the best chances to observe both species of anteaters.
