Southwild Jaguar Flotel

Two full days of boat rides to search for jaguars and giant otters. Each day will include up to eight hours of searches and observation in radio-equipped motorboats between 06:00 and 18:00. Uniquely, the jaguars along this stretch of the river have become accustomed to boats and are habituated to the presence of humans. The Cuiaba River is also home to large family groups of giant otters and the riverbanks teem with birds and monkeys and there are countless capybara and caimans to be seen.
