Arrive to the CGB Cuiabá airport or meet at the hotel with our guide, who will take you to a travel of 3 h until the region/city of Cáceres, where we continue driving other 75 km (1.5h) on a dirt road through mountains (the rare gem found in the lowlands) or, depending on the condition of the road, and your preference for a most comfortable transfer, we could take a boat for 2 h to the lodge down the majestic Paraguay river, which receives the water of all the other rivers in the World’s largest Wetland. Arrival and accommodation at the Baiazinha Lodge – a comfortable and nice resort on the river banks with some rooms built on the top of the rocks, with a view to the river and others to the swimming pool. Enjoy the pool for a rest or simply walk around to feel nature on your own.

These days are devoted to the mission of observing the elusive Jaguars. After long time seriously endangered, due to the trust that they were responsible for the killing of cattle (which is the only economic activity before tourism), the largest cat in Americas have found peace and tranquility for their survival with the creation of the Tayamã Ecological Station. This magnificent place is an island with many other little rivers protected, with fishing forbidden all over the island.  Due to the remoteness of the area, Jaguars there are less used to the human beings, so, in spite of being harder to observe them, this is compensated with the pleasure of not having other dozen of boats surrounding you, allowing us to have private sights. The large diversity of aquatic environments has as its only inhabitants the innumerous species of wildlife that include the Giant-river Otters – the ‘wolves of the rivers’ as well as Tapirs and many Capybaras and Caimans. Taking a fast motor boat equipped with radio-communication is the best and most guaranteed way to see Jaguars. The Jaguars could be hidden, just resting on the river banks, or playing on the beaches, or hunting Caimans and Capybaras. For exploring the Tayamã station, we must be during the whole day in the boat ride, carrying our lunch in box and return to the lodge just during the sunset. Or we do shorter boat rides on the smaller rivers and tributaries around the area of the lodge, having lunch there.

After breakfast, we have the whole morning to leave the mountainous region of the Pantanal of Cáceres to visit the very flat Pantanal of Poconé, arriving to the lodge after an overland safari along the Transpantaneira park-road with many stops to observe the first Egrets, Storks, Rheas, Toucans, Capybaras and Caimans of its rich fauna among 700 species of birds, 120 of mammals, 80 of reptiles…Dinner and overnight.

In the morning we do a boat ride along the river Claro/Pixaim, with the possibility to see and photograph many aquatic birds (kingfishers, cormorants, egrets, herons, storks), caimans, capybaras and some primates on the gallery forests. After lunch, departure to an overland safari until the end of the Transpantaneira park-road, at the Cuiabá river banks, in the region of Porto Jofre. Accommodation, dinner and overnight

Departure in boats equipped with radio-communication for navigating the Cuiabá, Three Brothers and Piquiri rivers, seeking for Jaguars hunting Caiman or Capybaras or simply resting/ playing on the banks. During the journey can be observed many other species of the rich fauna as the Giant-river Otters and perhaps Tapirs among hundreds of birds including the Black-skimmer. Boats are available for the whole day in order to maximize the chance to see the largest cat in Americas.

In the morning we have one more chance to see the elusive Jaguars as well as many other examples of the rich fauna, doing a whole morning boat ride. Lunch and departure for a terrestrial safari along the Transpantaneira until another lodge, with arrival at night, after have had the chance to observe on the way Crab-eating Foxes, Deer, among other dusk behaved animals. Dinner and night safari through the fields – a night-time drive using a vehicle equipped with a flashlight for highlighting nocturnal fauna, with the chance to observe many Caiman’s eyes and, with a bit of luck, Ocelots or Jaguars!

In the morning, there is a walking on the trails through the mound-hills where there are nests of birds such as Jabiru storks and the Hyacinth Macaw together with primates and rodents such as the Howler or Capuchin Monkeys and the Agouti or Capybaras. In the afternoon is done an overland safari through the fields until crossing the dense forests which borders the Bento Gomes river. Reaching a beautiful lake, a walk side starts to take us to cross the wetland and reach a canopy tower, from the top of what a large nesting site can be seen. Return at the dusk. Overnight.

Before sunrise, we drive throughout the termite mound-hills, with a big chance to see the Giant Anteater. Breakfast and another walking to full up the morning before we depart to Cuiabá, with drop-off at the convenient time.
