You step out of the 4x4 onto a soft, reed-lined estuary and the wetland closes around you like a living map: low hummocks, mirror-slow pools and a chorus of distant birdcalls. The guide motions forward; the capybaras regard you with calm curiosity while caimans slip like dark parentheses through the shallows. The marsh dares you to move quietly.
