Why go
The world's largest wetland, and the best place on earth to see jaguars.
The Pantanal offers far higher wildlife visibility than the Amazon because the terrain is open. Jaguar sightings along the rivers are close to reliable in the dry season.
Signature experiences
- Jaguar spotting by boat on the Cuiaba River
- Dawn and dusk safari drives
- Piranha fishing and birdwatching
