Summary:The content of the present article presents some observations about the culture versus nature relationship at Pantanal (a swamp area) located in the State South Mato Grosso, Brazil. Using oral resources as an informative base, I try to discuss some aspects which relate Pantanal culture and local nature, emphasizing markers of such culture, such as oral history/oral tradition. I also approach the representation construction based on the image of Pantanal as paradise.<br>O conte&amp;uacute;do deste artigo apresenta algumas observa&amp;ccedil;&amp;otilde;es a respeito das rela&amp;ccedil;&amp;otilde;es cultura versus natureza no Pantanal sul-mato-grossense.
