the trees. Grassland and forest species such as deer and South American coati are abundant, and birding along the trails is excellent as well. The tour guide is knowledgeable about the Pantanal’s plants and trees, and
can identify common species and explain their medicinal and culinary uses.

Boating
Boat trips provide an excellent opportunity to observe giant river otters up-close. This is often a highlight of
visitors’ trips to the Pantanal. In the region of Porto Jofre, we occasionally see jaguars along the river banks–
it is the experience of a lifetime! Other wildlife commonly seen on the river are capybara and caiman.
Frequently encountered birds include kingfishers, egrets, storks, herons, cormorants, anhingas and terns. We highly recommend adding an early morning or evening boat trip to your itinerary as it allows you not only to enjoy a spectacular sunrise or sunset while viewing wildlife from a unique perspective, but to listen to the nocturnal and diurnal animals of the Pantanal’s wilderness.

fantastic and you have a very good chance of observing the elusive and impressive Jaguar.
