  The Pantanal of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay is South America's Serengeti: its wetlands are the largest on earth (they're half the size of France) and, in the dry season, crocodiles and storks jostle to gobble the last of the dying fish. Here, the continent's largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters, anacondas and the world's largest parrot. A comprehensive introduction to the best place to watch wildlife in South America, and beautifully illustrated throughout, Bradt's Pantanal Wildlife is the only portable book to cover all the main wildlife groups while focussing exclusively on the Pantanal.

  • The first book to cover the best areas to search for particular wildlife specialities – and to give tips on how to find, identify and enjoy them

  • Written by a South American wildlife expert, it includes entertaining snippets on behaviour and biology

  • 80% of the Pantanal falls within Brazil, whose foreign tourism increased by 20% from 2002 to 2006

  Bradt guide is een Engelstalige, praktische reisgids voor de avontuurlijke reiziger, boordevol informatie over accommodatie van budget tot luxe, vervoer, plaatsbeschrijvingen en natuur - kenmerk: kritisch op toeristische pleisterplekken en de stijl is verhalend. The Amazon is the world's biggest rainforest, falling within the confines of nine countries and luring millions of visitors. Trying to decide where to go is a challenge for any traveller. Should you visit the Iguaçu Falls in Brazil, or Peru's Pongo de Manseriche? Should your base be in Manaus or Iquitos? Where can you see a giant otter or swim with pink dolphins? Amazon Highlights cuts through the vast array of options. It showcases the best of the region – example itineraries and ideal starting points, a selection of 'tried and tested' lodges, and a review of leading tour operators and tour guides. Full-colour, it also serves as a handy field guide to the animals and plants most frequently seen in the Amazon.
