HOME / PANTANAL / JAGUAR / Jaguar Tour Porto Jofre

Overview

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.
