Disappointment in the Pantanal - Feb 5-8, 2008 (JRS)
Sunday, March 16th, 2008The Pantanal - The highest density of wildlife in South America, or so the books say. After our experience there, I don´t doubt that the claim is true, we certainly saw quite a bit of wildlife: caimen (alligators), parrots, toucans, parakeets, hoards of other birds, deer, fox, trantulas (and many other creepies), and even R.O.U.S´s (Rodents of Unusual Size, for those who haven´t seen The Princess Bride). Unfortunately, it was all a bit overshadowed by a poorly-run tour agency - Gil´s Pantanal Discovery.
