This trip is ideal for lovers of wildlife and nature. Come and search for jaguars and giant otters in the wild!
The highlight will undoubtedly be the days spent on the river seeking out jaguars, but you also have time to take forest hikes, climb observation towers and go horse riding through fields and forest. the Jaguar Flotel is on the Cuiaba River about an hour away from Porto Joffre. It is in the heart of jaguar-spotting territory and the odds of seeing jaguars here at very high!
It's not just jaguars though. Giant otters are commonly seen here and they too are usually very hard to find, so this is a real treat. In addition you'll see capybaras, caiman, the rare hyacinth macaws and hopefully many other species.
You will have a dedicated English-speaking guide throughout the trip, helping you make the very best of your time in this unique environment.
With this trip you have a choice of whether to join a group set departure, or if you prefer we can arrange this trip for you as a private departure on whatever date you like.
On the whole, the best time to do this trip is between July and September, though the months either side can also be good too.
An early departure from the lodge in an open safari truck to reach Porto Jofre by 10am. Here you board manoeuvrable boats for the upstream journey into the heart of Jaguar Zone to SouthWild Jaguar Flotel, where you spend the next 4 nights.
Full board.
