Rent a Car in Campo Grande Center

Campo Grande is the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul and an important hub for ecotourism to the Pantanal, with 6 car rental companies in the city center. The city is located 400 km from Bonito and 200 km from Corumbá near the Bolivian border. With a rental car, you can reach Parque das Nações Indígenas, the city's green heart, in 10 minutes from the center.

Campo Grande is called 'Cidade Morena' for its reddish-brown soil and is known as the gateway to the Pantanal, the world's largest wetland area. Avenida Afonso Pena is the city's main artery with restaurants, hotels and shops, and most roads to the nature reserves depart from here. Rent an SUV if you plan to drive to the Pantanal – roads like MS-184 can be difficult to navigate after rain.

Avoid driving at night outside the city as livestock often stays on the roads. Book your car at least a week in advance during high season from June to September when ecotourists flood the region. How long does it take to drive from Campo Grande center to Bonito?
