Welcome to the Pantanal, the largest wetland on the planet, a wilderness that stretches over 150,000 square kilometers across west-central Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia.

The name “Pantanal” comes from the Portuguese word “pantano”, which vividly evokes the essence of this pristine and mysterious place. A place where nature reigns supreme, and water is the protagonist.

UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve: The Pantanal has been recognized for its exceptional environmental and cultural value.

Majestic floods: During the rainy seasons, water can rise two to five meters, creating a dynamic water turnover that cleanses the environment of pollution and nourishes the earth.

Extraordinary Biodiversity: This magnificent floodplain is home to a wealth of wild life, home to 40 amphibians, 650 birds, 177 reptiles, 270 fish and 102 mammals, including jaguars, tapirs, anteaters and many other fascinating species.

A mosaic of ecosystems: The landscape of the Pantanal is a fascinating mix of savannah, grassland, freshwater and caating (a forest that only turns green during the winter). During the rainy season, the waters nourish the land abundantly, allowing the caimans to hunt and warm themselves in the sun, while the jaguars can migrate towards the North.

The Pantanal is more than just a destination; it is an adventure waiting to be discovered, a place where nature shows its strength and beauty in every corner. A trip here is an immersion into a world that few have had the privilege of exploring.

Get ready for an unprecedented photographic adventure in Porto Jofre, in the wild heart of the Pantanal. A full immersion in nature, with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets captured from the boat, reserved exclusively for the group.

Unlike other photography experiences, this trip is designed for serious photography enthusiasts. You won’t waste precious time returning to the lodge for lunch; instead, you will enjoy a quick meal on the boat or in the most pristine regions of this extraordinary ecosystem. Thus, you will be able to dedicate 10-12 hours a day to photographing the jaguar, making the most of every moment of perfect light.

This trip to the Pantanal is the ideal opportunity for the most demanding photographers. Not only will it give you breathtaking sceneries, but it will also offer you incredible sightings that you never imagined you would experience. Coming face to face with the mighty jaguar and countless other animals in their natural habitat will allow you to capture extraordinary photographic shots and create magnificent memories that will remain etched in your mind forever.
