In the country's Central West, you will see the stark contrast between the
modern and the timeless. This regions contains three states: Goiás, Mato
Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Also in the Central West is the Federal
District, Brasília, the nation's capital. With its bold architectural
style, the capital city is so avant garde that is stands out as the only
20th century architectural complex to be proclaimed a World Heritage Site
by Unesco. On the other hand, the Mato Grosso Pantanal (Wetlands), a
veritable ecological sanctuary, preserves the pristine nature in this
unique ecosystem. The visitor may stay in lodges and venture out with
trained guides to safely observe crocodiles, anacondas, rheas, anteaters,
parrots, deer, capybaras, and countless birds, who choose the Pantanal as
one of the world's most important stops on their migratory routes. For
freshwater fishermen, here is a hot tip: the Araguaia River is known as
one of the most abundant fishing grounds in the world! And, the region has
excellent infrastructure, including accommodations and boat trips
specifically geared towards amateur fishermen.
