Pantanal Ecoexplorer jaguar tracking tours take you down the Paraguay River to explore a labyrinth of rivers and lakes between two remote reserves: the Taiama Ecological Station and the Caracara National Park. The corridor between the two reserves is the richest area in the world for spotting jaguars in the wild. Travel aboard small motorboats to explore the region through which our specially-trained trackers and boatmen will take you to track jaguars. Sightings vary according to weather and river water levels, with the greatest chances of catching these elusive cats coming between July and November. You also have a very good chance of seeing jaguars in the wild between March and June. Jaguars are visible day and night, often from only 20-30 meters away. No other location in the world can offer anything like the possibility of seeing wild jaguars as the Brazilian Pantanal.
Pantanal Ecoexplorer offers a number of 5-, 7-, and 10-day Jaguar tour packages starting in Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso. All include transportation to/from the Cuiabá airport, all meals, all boat trips from Cáceres, accommodations and experienced, professional guides. While no reputable tour operator can guarantee with 100% certainty that you will see or photograph any jaguars in the wild, what we at Pantanal Ecoexplorer can guarantee is that you will be guided by local experts with a great deal of skill and experience at locating jaguars throughout the region. Our agency has an excellent track record of successful jaguar tracking tours, as many of our former clients can attest.
During the trip you will stay at two different lodges: our very own Jaguar Camp and the Jaguar Trackers floating lodge. The Jaguar Camp is for the exclusive use of Ecoexplorer’s guests; it is a rustic and simple campsite located on the banks of the Paraguay River in the vicinity of northern side of the Taiama Reserve. The Jaguar Trackers floating lodge is a houseboat anchored further down the Paraguay River halfway between the Taiama Reserve and the Parque Nacional do Caracara. These accommodations are the ideal places for travelers seeking tranquility and intimacy.
The Jaguar Camp main house faces the river and has a dining area and a kitchen. The entire house is screened-in, thereby providing fresh air and protection from mosquitoes. Behind the main house, for more privacy, are several small screened-in cabins for sleeping, each with a private bath and shower as well as a ceiling fan. The dining and bar area is under the shady canopy of majestic trees and most meals are served in the open air. There is electricity only at night, for charging cameras and computers, and there is a radio for communication with the office and for any emergency.
The Jaguar Trackers floating lodge sleeps 2-4 people comfortably in a cabin that includes two sets of bunk beds. There is a dining area, bathrooms, a kitchen and radios, as well an upper sun deck. There is an electric generator that runs at night and again at midday for air conditioning and battery recharging. These accommodations are the ideal places for travelers seeking tranquility and intimacy. If you’re really looking to get off the beaten path, then this trip is perfect for you.
