In him are the two third parts of the Pantanal, the greater easily flooded plain of the planet, inhabited by sinfÃn of varieties of animal, and Tuna, city around which are crystalline water aquariums and a great grotto concentration and almost completely preserved caverns of all type of degradation.
Located in the center-west of the country, the difficulties of access to the great Brazilian centers did that I kill Grosso do Sul maintained during long time strong bonds with Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina, countries with which share border or it communicates by the rivers Paraguay, Parana and Plata.

- The Pantanal de Mato Grosso, with an extension of 250,000 km2s, is the greater easily flooded area of the world. The Pantanal is an immense intercontinental river basin, delimited by the Planalto Brasileiro, to the east, by Plated the Matogrossenses, to the north, and also by a high territories and mountain range of the Andean skirt, to the west. In certain form it is a great internal delta, where the waters of the Paraguay Stop and those of a great number of rivers are accumulated that lower of the Planalto. Through Paraguay river, the Pantanal intimately is bound to the great river basin of the river Parana-river of the Silver. However, aquatic connections with amazonian affluents exist to the north of the Pantanal diffuse, especially with the Guaporé river. The drainage of this internal delta, by means of the narrow and smooth bar of Cierre of the Noses do Sul, takes control of much difficulty. Nevertheless, enormous amounts of water suspended behind this prey make of the Pantanal stopped and current, temporary or an unforseeable permanent water labyrinth. In the indigenous legend and the first maps, the Pantanal is remembered like a great lake populated with islands, the “two sea Xaraiés�.
The Paraguay river and the other rivers of the Pantanal present/display little declivity, of the order of 20-30 cm by km, which causes that the waters that are accumulated in the periods of intense rains empty with much slowness. Consequently, the floods, that are principles to the north in the months of March and April, arrive at the south from the Pantanal only in July and August. Meanwhile, immense amounts of water, probably hundreds of km. cubical per year, they are lost by direct evaporation to the atmosphere. The Pantanal can be, with justice, considered the greater “window� of fresh water evaporation of the world. The rich fauna of birds and mammals depends, in its great majority, of the aquatic feeding. The Pantanal can be seen, then, like a great and dynamic interface between the aquatic and terrestrial world. The aquatic vegetation is fundamental for the pantanera life. The floating plants are the main primary producers in waters of the Pantanal. Taken by the rivers, these plants constitute true floating islands, camalotes. The past geologic it has allowed that the Pantanal constitutes the greater relationship of the interchanges of the aquatic flora and fauna of South America. The Pantanal offers to the visitor a variety of open landscapes populated by great animal populations, whose feeding depends on the aquatic phase. The jacares have an important paper in waters of the Pantanal, where they work like “regulating� predators of the piscicultural fauna and, sometimes, like excellent agents of the recycling of nutrients. In the places where there is many jacares are few pirañas. When the jacares are decimated by the indiscriminate hunting of the salesmen of skins, the population of pirañas aggressive increases to the detriment of other species. The serpents are little in the Pantanal, mainly in the areas flooding, although there are water serpents. The birds of the Pantanal are one of the majors attractions of the Pantanal, reunited in enormous concentrations, operate the aquatic nutritional resources. To at dusk accompany to the birds or the dawn its place by rest, to borders of the rivers where they happen the nights is a superb spectacle, in addition we can be other species, between which they honor the red deers of closed and the other mammals, like the puppy-vinegar, anta, paca, the wolf-guará; between the primates, one is macaco-prego, pigs of mount, the panthera ounce, and other felines that are attracted by the abundance of prey. By all this variety the Pantanal has become one of the most interesting and beautiful places of photographic extraordinary the planet to realize “Safaris�. (Very advisable for the lovers of the nature and the environment).
- Cutting the Pantanal is the called earth highway the Transpantaneira, in their route are wooden bridges, and most important, has become a tourist place of privilege, since its route provides a parade of birds and mammals of matchless beauty. Constructed in years 70 to communicate the North to the South of the country, the Transpantaneira did not get to be finished, are only 145 km. the passable ones, and at the moment are used for tourist routes. During this passage it is observed with certain frequency flights of flocks of you plowed and parades of herons, capivaras, jacares, deer and many other animal.
