Human Settlements

Almost all human settlements are located on the perimeter of Pantanal, like the small towns of Cáceres, Poconé, Coxim, Miranda, Aquidauana. The only exception is Corumbá, the 'capital city of Pantanal' which is located in the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso Do Sul, which is not far from the Bolivian border. These small towns have mainly a rural population living on cattle ranching and agriculture, handicraft activities and tourism.
