As a result, Farm Estancia Vira can support up to 4,000 cattle (young and old).

The Pantanal Region - Where is Farm Estancia Vira Located?

At over 17 million hectares, the Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland. As such, it is a critical component of the Rio de la Plata Basin, the world’s fifth-largest watershed. The Pantanal extends across the borders of Brazil, Paraguay, and Bolivia. As a result, it provides natural flood protection for millions of South Americans. In addition, it serves as a refuge for thousands of species and provides billions a year in economic output.
