In April, the sky presents the most starry nights of the Pantanal. The end of the rains brings mild weather that makes the night tours more delightful. During the intermediate season it’s possible to observe peccaries, deer and bands of howler and capuchin monkeys. Fields and isolated hills form the landscape, as well as scattered ponds and small rivers called corixos which drain into larger stream.
