When is the best time to visit Pantanal?

The scenery of Pantanal changes with every new season, but it remains always exuberant. Each one of the seasons has its own characteristics, varies year-to-year according to the presence or absence of rain. The average annual precipitation is 1500mm, the majority of which falls between the months of November and March.

Temperature

The Pantanal is a flat plan, naturally open and without big mountains to block cold fronts. Because of that, the temperature may vary a lot in a short period.

The summer is hot, with temperatures around 25ºC (77ºF) to 40ºC (104ºF). During the winter the weather is mild and dry, with temperature varying from 18ºC (64ºF) to 30ºC (86ºF), but the occasional cold front can bring temperatures as low as 8ºC (46ºF). So, if you plan visit the Pantanal from June to August, is important to be prepared to these unpredictable cold fronts.

To be able to grasp all the richness of Pantanal, you must make at least two trips: one during the Dry Season and one during the Rainy Season. Those trips will be unique experiences in your life!
