Frequently Asked Questions
About Your Trip
Are dollars best for this trip?
Yes, taking a mix of dollar denominations is the best idea for this trip. Taking cash is fine, as long you excercise the same degree of common sense you would at home. The leader will best advise you on changing it once you arrive. ATMs are becoming more common but you shouldn't rely on them 100%, in case there are any problems.

What clothing is best for this part of the Americas?
It can get hot and sweaty here at times, so lightweight cotton (or quick-drying fabrics) is best as a starting point! Long sleeved shirts and trousers will help prevent mosquito bites, especially in the evenings when they could be buzzing around. You should also take a jacket and/or sweater for evenings, as it will cool down. Essential kit includes some sunglasses and a sunhat, along with good sunscreen. A lightweight waterproof jacket or rain poncho is optional, as you can get some tropical rain here now and again!

Is there a lot of driving across the Pantanal?
There is a long drive of around 12 hours between the Iguassu Falls and Campo Grande. This drive is on good paved roads, but if you suffer from travel sickness it is advisable to be prepared. The overnight journey is made in a public bus with almost fully reclining seats, similar to a business class airline seat.There is also a long travel day between Bonito and Paraty which involves two longish drives (3.5 and 4-5 hours each) and a domestic flight (around 2 hours).
We also have some drives on dirt roads, and if it is raining these drives may take longer than anticipated or we may have to take alternative routes.

What is the weather like in southern Brazil?
It is generally humid in northern Argentina, Paraguay and southern Brazil. Temperatures around Iguassu are usually in the high 20s or low 30s, with a slight dip at night, although cold snaps and snow are not unheard of.
The Pantanal is generally hot year round, but with distinct dry and wet seasons. During the June to October dry season, we tend to see a lot of animals congregating around the dwindling water supplies, and in the wet season much of the region is flooded but animals are easily spotted on higher ground.
