Pantanal Tours & Trips
The Pantanal offers some of South America's best jaguar spotting, especially around Porto Jofre. Travel from Campo Grande into the wetlands, staying at traditional fazendas. Join boat trips on the Paraguay River and Rio Claro, go horseback riding through floodplains, and try piranha fishing. Night safaris reveal caimans, giant anteaters, and capybaras. Combine it with Bonito for snorkeling in crystal-clear rivers.

Tour itself is excellent (interesting varied activities), especially for young active people. The wet lodge in itself is great, food was good as well. But the thing is you can book through the lodge directly and pay 30% less.

We were able to observe a large number of animals of different species, we were lucky to see some that are very difficult to find. They have to make this trip and bring a camera to save these incredible moments

What our customers ask about Pantanal Tours & Trips
What's the best time to visit the Pantanal for wildlife viewing?
The dry season from July through October that's really when you'll get the best wildlife viewing in the Pantanal. The water levels drop which actually works in our favor because animals gather around the remaining water spots making them easier to spot. Our travelers keep telling us they see amazing wildlife during these months especially on the 8 Days Paraguay and Brazil tour where you can go on night safaris to spot jaguars ocelots and pumas.
Which areas of the Pantanal are best for seeing jaguars?
If you're keen on spotting jaguars Porto Jofre is your best bet it's right at the end of the Transpantaneira highway. The boat tours along the Cuiabá River system are fantastic for seeing these amazing cats in their natural habitat you can experience this on the Das Safariparadies intensiv erleben tour with Bernd Nill which is really popular with photographers.
How do I get to the Pantanal?
Getting there is pretty straightforward you can fly into Cuiabá Airport for the northern Pantanal or Campo Grande Airport if you're heading south. From there you've got options with internal flights private transfers and shuttle services to get to your lodge. The Pantanal Bonito & Iguazu Adventure starts with a 4-hour drive from Campo Grande to Buraco das Piranhas then it's just 40 minutes to your lodge in the wetlands.
