The main focus of this unforgettable experience is the sighting of the majestic Jaguars in their natural habitat, the Pantanal. This vast floodplain covers approximately 230,000 kmΒ², spanning parts of Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. In addition to Jaguars, the true stars of this unforgettable experience, you’ll have the chance to observe other incredible animal species, including capybaras, caimans, monkeys, pumas, tapirs, over 600 species of birds, and many species of fish, including the feared piranha.
The tour will begin in CuiabΓ‘. It is recommended to arrive the day before the start of this adventure. The transfer from CuiabΓ‘ to PoconΓ© takes about an hour and a half (100 km). From PoconΓ©, the “capital” of the Pantanal, founded 230 years ago during a gold rush that is still ongoing, with mountains of soil sifted by hand by the gold prospectors. The itinerary continues along the Transpantaneira for 147 km toward Port Jofre. Since it is an unpaved road, the trip will take about 4 hours. During the journey along the Transpantaneira, 122 bridges will be crossed across a completely flat landscape; most of them are still made of wood (in 2016, the government started replacing some of the bridges with new concrete ones). Throughout the entire route, it is possible to see many wild animals and special bird species, as the Transpantaneira road crosses the heart of the Pantanal. With a bit of luck, you may spot animals like the giant anteater and the mighty Jaguar, the feline with the most powerful bite in the world.
Arrive in CuiabΓ‘ the evening before. The following morning, we will take our vehicles, and a driver will take us to our destination. The journey will take about four hours; to reach Port Jofre, we will drive on the Transpantaneira road, a dirt road of about 150 km. From here, we will start spotting some of the animals that inhabit the Pantanal. We will reach Port Jofre in the early afternoon, and after checking into our rooms, we will head out for our first river experience to spot jaguars during sunset.
Dinner and overnight stay at the posada.
Ecco la traduzione in inglese del testo che mi hai fornito:
These days will be dedicated primarily to capturing the best of the Pantanal. We will reach areas less frequented by other boats, spending six full days observing the marvelous wildlife. We will manage to take world-unique photos. In nature, patience is keyβoften weβll wait for hours before being able to capture the essence of Mother Nature. It will feel like weβre in a National Geographic documentary, with a different scene each time. I recommend checking out my “Pantanal Experience” video on my YouTube channel, where it will be easier to understand what I’m talking about.
Each day, weβll wake up early, aiming to be in the right place at the right time, with the first light of dawn. Weβll have box lunches with us to avoid going back to the posada and losing precious time. Our small boat will take us to the smaller tributaries of the CuiabΓ‘ River to get a close look at the hunting grounds of the great feline. With a bit of luck, weβll witness its incredible predation, a perfect, lightning-fast attack.
This will be the main goal of our expeditionβgetting up close and personal with the nature around us. We will remain as silent as possible, trying to stay as invisible as we can. Weβll return just after sunset, as itβs forbidden to stay on the river after dark. I canβt waitβitβs going to be incredible. The sounds and smells of nature will transport us to another dimension. It will feel like taking a six-day trip through time. Are you ready?
At sunrise, we will embark on our final boat photographic tour to try to capture our last encounters with the great Jaguar. We will return to the lodge for lunch and then depart in the afternoon for CuiabΓ‘. We will arrive at our hotel, and later, weβll enjoy a delicious themed dinner in the vibrant city center to experience a bit of local Brazilian life. CuiabΓ‘ is very lively, and it will definitely be an enjoyable experience.
Letβs not forget that we are in the Pantanal, and thereβs something missing from this naturalistic experience.
Indeed, weβll have the opportunity to enjoy a truly unique aquatic experience.
Weβll depart at 7 a.m. and, after about two hours of road transfer, weβll reach Bom Jardim. Two incredible days of snorkeling await usβafter all the heat, a bit of fresh water is exactly what we need.
Our first snorkeling adventure will take place at Reino Encantado, where weβll embark on a true freshwater safari, exploring a small, crystal-clear stream teeming with life. This entire area is covered by small streams of crystal-clear water fed by natural springs. The northern part of the Pantanal offers access to the largest wetland area on the planet, and we canβt leave without seeing it.
In the afternoon, around 4:00 p.m., weβll head to Lagoa das Araras, a place where, at sunset, we can see the yellow and blue Macaws.
Weβll return to the posada before heading out for dinner.
At 9 a.m., we will take a dive at the AquΓ‘rio Encantado, and then weβll let the current of the Rio Salobra carry us while snorkeling. Around 2 p.m., weβll explore the Rio Triste for another beautiful snorkeling experience.
After a hearty breakfast, weβll have about a two-hour drive to the airport. Our fantastic experience in the Pantanal has come to an end.
