Hi,

on the afternoon we drove 150 km to south, to the end of Transpantaneira in Porto Jofré (red Pin).

This is the official begin of the Transpantaneira. There is also a control post. There are the vehicles checked, leaving the Pantanal. For example, if they have fishes.

The Transpantaneira is said to have about 120 bridges
