See our selection of lodges in the northern Pantanal.
Porto Jofre is a fishermen village located in the northern Pantanal, at the end of the Transpantaneira road. From here, we will explore the Cuiabá river and its tributaries by our speedboats, and in particular the "Encontro das Aguas State Park", a really amazing environment, where live lot of caimans, capybaras, birds and lot of jaguars!
During the dry season, from June to November, jaguars stay close to the rivers where they find water and their favorite preys: caimans and capybaras. Jaguars rest and walk on the river banks, often they enter in the water to hunt and to take a fresh bath.
Besides the jaguars you will have also the opportunities to take close up pictures of the endangered giant river otters (Pteronura brasiliensis).
Accommodation is possible at the riverside lodges and in the floting hotel.
The tour begins at Cuiabá, in the morning we drive for about 1h30m up to town of Poconé. Here we take the Transpantaneira road and drive for others 150km up to the Porto Jofre making stops to photograph a great variety of birds and lot of caiman in the water ponds, with the possibility to spot also marsh deer, coatis, capybaras, giant anteaters, anaconda.
