Hello there- My husband and I are travelling to Rio from Canada for a conference between Sept 24-27th.  We would very much like to travel to the Pantanal area while there either before or after the conference.  We are looking at around a 5 night stay and would love any information that you could provide.  If travelling before the conference, we also have the option to fly into Sao Paulo, if that makes more sense for travel into the Pantanal.  Thank-you.
