Itinerary: 2 Days of Jaguar Tracking and Wildlife Immersion
Day 1:
Arrival and First Safari
When you land at Cuiabá airport, our team will welcome you and begin the scenic drive to Porto Jofre crossing the iconic Transpantaneira highway. You just need to keep your camera ready as wildlife often greets us along the way.
By midday, you will settle into a comfortable eco-lodge and enjoy a hearty local lunch.
In the afternoon, your first river safari begins. As you cruise along the Cuiabá and Três Irmãos Rivers, our team will track jaguars using both expert eyes and local intel.
As the sun sets, the golden light transforms the wetland into a photographer’s paradise. At the end of Day 1, a local dinner will be served at the lodge followed by a relaxing night surrounded by nature’s soundtrack.
Day 2:
Sunrise Safari and Return
We will wake up early the next morning for your sunrise safari when the Pantanal stirs to life. Jaguars, caimans, capybaras, giant otters and dozens of beautiful birds make their morning rounds and you will be right there to witness it.
After an adventurous morning on the river, we will return to the lodge for brunch or early lunch.
Then, we begin the journey back along the Transpantaneira to Cuiabá making wildlife stops along the way.
The tour ends here with a drop-off at Cuiabá airport or your hotel.
