  • Can jaguars be seen from the boat tour in late May? Also, have the fires from November 2023 impacted sightings of jaguars and other animals in that area of Pantanal?

    The end of May is possible to see jaguars, few but possible, the ideal is easier July, the fire that hit the region has a negative impact on sightings, they migrated to the region a little Further away from Porto Jofre. Getting closer to our region
    Answered on 20 March 2024

After leaving the IT area and my wife to her NGO dedicated to underprivileged children, we decided to enjoy what we like, wildlife. wild, today we seek to make our region aware of the environmental impact that we can cause with predatory fishing and hunting, as well as our attitudes that can harm the environment, the preservation of nature and the future of humanity. me at 65 and my wife at 60 decided to share the beauties of living and living with wild animals. Preserving should be part of each of us

Property info

Our house boat is located on the banks of the Cuiabá River, 16 KM from the fenced port, our service is personalized to each person or group, it is important to contact us after your reservation, during the flood season in the Pantanal it is only possible to arrive by boat, we are in the heart of the northern Pantanal with great biodiversity and in the largest flooded plain on the planet, during the flood season there is a transfer fee from the port to our vessel. In our region it is possible to photograph birds of various species, reptiles, and some aquatic animals, the jaguar being a little more difficult but not impossible, as well as the beautiful landscapes of the Pantanal. Important for your stay is to follow the house rules that are posted behind your bedroom door.
