A local tour guide at the helm of an outboard motor launch, taking a small party of tourists on a wildlife sight-seeing safari, aboard a motor launch, on the Mutum River, (Rio Mutum) in the world's largest wetlands of the Pantanal in Brazil. The vast region attracts much tourism for its abundance of wildlife, flora and rainforests, which generates a lot of income into the local economy. The Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland of 42 million acres covering parts of two neighbouring countries, Bolivia and Paraguay. Brazil has the largest area of this pristine ecosystem.
