Miranda
The gateway town to the southern Pantanal. Its old railway station, riverside and nearby Terena villages offer a window into local culture.
Miranda lies on BR-262 and the former Noroeste railway line. It is the base for travelling to eco-farms such as Caiman and Fazenda São Francisco. The town has budget hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and a bus station, and many backpacker tours depart from here. Terena Indigenous people live around the town, and some communities can be visited to buy traditional pottery and handicrafts. The town itself has few sights, but it is a good place to stop and stock up, and you can watch the sunset from the riverbank at the edge of town. The bus from Campo Grande takes about 3 hours.
