The Pantanal Wetlands are the world’s largest expanse of flooded plains, covering 140,000 km² of countless bird species, endemic plants, Alligators, mammals, marine life and yes, even elusive Jaguars!
Stepping in the footsteps of this mystical creature is worthy of its own dedicated tour and experience, particularly as even while we embark on our quest, there will be no shortage of wildlife encounters and tropical flora to be relished in their own right.
Traveling mainly by boat through the Pantanal will give us our best opportunity to both catch glimpse of the ever-evasive ‘big cat’, while also having minimal impact on the natural environment around us, meaning that this vital though fragile ecosystem is preserved for years to come.

Exploring the Pantanal with friends was an eye-opening adventure, where we were thrilled to spot jaguars and an array of wildlife. The meals were a delightful blend of local flavors, though a couple of our accommodations could have offered a bit more comfort.

We had an unforgettable time spotting wildlife, especially when we finally saw a majestic jaguar lounging by the riverbank. The meals were absolutely delicious, especially the hearty local stew that warmed us up after a chilly evening boat ride, though we did wish our accommodations had been a bit cozier.

The experience was captivating, especially when we spotted a jaguar lounging by the riverbank during one of our early morning excursions. The accommodations were comfortable and offered a great blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, which made winding down each day a pleasure. While the guides were knowledgeable, there were moments when we felt they could have provided more context about the local flora and fauna. Overall, we left with a deeper appreciation for the wildlife and the unique ecosystem we had explored. The stunning sunsets over the wetlands were simply unforgettable, and we would certainly recommend this adventure for anyone looking to connect with nature.
