A special treat, NPS guests cruise one of the Pantanal’s largest protected areas on guided jaguar safaris.
Day 1, Start Cuiabá to Pantanal ranch
Meeting in the morning at the airport (CGB) or hotel in Cuiabá city and transfer to our Pantanal ranch. After driving about one and a half hour we arrive in Poconé. From there our wildlife adventure starts as we hit the Transpantaneira, a dirt road that transects the northern Pantanal. Arrive at the lodge just before lunch time. After a midday break we go on a photo safari in search of dry land mammals and birds. Back to the lodge after sundown. With luck, the darkness may reveal foxes, racoons, owls, and other nocturnal species. Dinner and overnight. (L,D)
Day 2, Pantanal ranch
Full day devoted to explore the many wildlife oppurtunities on this extraordinary private reserve. Our activities are a combination of overland safaris and nature walks. The guide will accompany you on all excursions to truly enhance your wildlife viewing. (B,L,D).
Day 3 - Pantanal ranch to Porto Jofre
Early start to witness the awakening of the Pantanal in search of the Giant Anteater. The soft light at this time of the day usually provide great pictures. Breakfast and check out. This morning we will drive further into the Pantanal, all the way through Transpantaneira, to Porto Jofre. Stop to photograph all kind of wildlife concentrated in the water ponds on both sides along the road. Lunch and break. In the afternoon we go on our first boat safari in the Meeting of the Waters State Park. Located in a convergence area of large rivers and preserved woods, this area is considered today the best place on the planet to observe jaguars in their natural habitat. Our safaris are operated on modern boats, equipped with radio and helmed by expert guides specialized in tracking these big cats. Dinner and overnight. (B, L, D)
Day 4 - 5, Morning and afternoon boat safari
Two days devoted to explore the Cuiabá river and its tributaries. Our naturalist-guided water safaris are timed to allow photography during the first and last hour of light and give you the best chance of viewing jaguars. During excursions, you will also encounter other interesting wildlife. Watch for Giant River Otters, Caimans, Howler Monkeys, Capybaras and many bird species. Our outings will be always a full day, from sunrise to sunset, with a break for lunch and siesta at the lodge. The exact lengths of the outings will, of course, vary depending on the sightings and you should be prepared to be flexible with the timetable. (B,L,D)
