Following the launch of its Costa Rica photography guide, Latin Routes has published the second edition in the series, turning the focus to one of Latin America’s most wildlife rich regions, the Pantanal. Let's explore our new photographer’s guide to the Pantanal.
View our Photographers GuidesSpanning vast wetlands, winding rivers, and open grasslands, the Pantanal offers a very different photographic experience. Sightings unfold slowly and naturally, rewarding travellers who take the time to observe their surroundings. From jaguars patrolling riverbanks to macaws, caiman, and giant otters, the variety of subjects is remarkable.
Created to inspire photographers of all levels, the guide shares practical advice shaped by time spent exploring the Northern Pantanal. It reflects the rhythm of the region and the kind of moments travellers are most likely to encounter when moving through this unique landscape.
Inside the photographer’s guide to the Pantanal, readers will discover:
Tips for photographing wildlife in wetland and river environments
Guidance on light, timing, and seasonal conditions
Advice on capturing movement, behaviour, and natural interactions
Insights into photographing iconic Pantanal species, including jaguars and giant otters
Inspiration for making the most of boat journeys, lodge settings, and open landscapes
Designed to complement a journey rather than dominate it, the guide encourages a respectful and observant approach to photography, helping travellers capture meaningful images while staying present in the experience.
