Marcus Viana - Pantanal Mato Grosso - Brazil-

"The territory that comprises the Pantanal Mato-Grossense is considered the largest floodplain on the planet" "The flora, with a typical predominance of marsh plants, consists of species such as: buriti, manduvi and carandá. In this ecosystem it is also possible to observe the interspersed characterization of the vegetation of the cerrado, fields and forests.""Considered one of the most extraordinary natural heritages in Brazil, it has a faunal biodiversity only surpassed by that existing in the Amazon, but with a greater number of individuals per species.""It is a region with high rainfall (amount of rainfall), and periodic flooding caused by the overflow of numerous streams and lakes, whose waters fertilize the soil with a layer of humus mud (humus), made up of animal and vegetable remains mixed with sand."
