In the Pantanal:

The Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul has a tropical climate with two well-defined seasons:

Rainy Season (Wet Summer): From October to March, the Pantanal receives most of its rainfall, with average temperatures between 23°C and 25°C. During this period, the region can become flooded, making land access difficult and providing unique aquatic landscapes.

Dry Season (Dry Winter): From April to September, rainfall is scarce, and temperatures are milder, ranging from 20°C to 25°C. This season is ideal for tourist activities such as photographic safaris and wildlife observation due to better visibility and easier access.
