Pantanal School Project Photos

The school is located on the EMBRAPA fazenda in the Necholandia Region of the southern Pantanal in southwestern Brazil.  US educators are welcome to come for any length of time to teach English to children and adults of the fazenda.  Below are photos of recent Pantanal excursions, visiting the school, seeing amazing wildlife, riding Pantaneiro style, enjoying breathtaking sunsets.
