The Pantanal is the Best Place to See Wildlife in Brazil!
While the Amazon rainforest is the most famous eco holiday destination in Brazil, that’s not where you’ll see the most wildlife.
Your best chance of spotting Brazil wildlife is actually on one of the many Pantanal tours offered at the other end of the country.

Jaguars & Wildlife of Brazil's Pantanal - Photo Tour
Brazil's famed Pantanal region is the most accessible place to photograph jaguars in the wild. And while jaguars are the main attraction, there's plenty more to photograph including caiman, capybaras, river otters and many, many colorful birds.
Brazil 2017: The Pantanal - Days 1 & 2
This video is a compilation of clips pieced together from the (much larger) original production thus it may appear disjointed in places. I also apologise for any footage which is a bit 'wobbly' but shooting from a moving boat with other passengers present proved challenging to say the least even with stabilisation!
During late August 2017 we set off for the Brazilian Pantanal, the world’s largest wetland (15 times the size of Botswana’s Okavango Delta) containing a huge variety of wildlife unique to Latin America. Encompassing both riverine swamps and Sahel (savannah) the region boasts the largest ‘new world’ cat, the Jaguar which is the third largest cat in the world; the world’s largest rodent, the capybara, and the world’s largest parrot, the Hyacinth Macaw. It is also home to the world’s largest snake, the Green Anaconda and the continent’s heaviest land mammal, the South American Tapir. It also has the largest concentration of crocodilian in the World: the Yacaré Caiman.
In order to observe and film wildlife in the Pantanal, all safaris are conducted by river boats. Would we see the elusive Jaguar? Hopefully by giving ourselves five full days (10 trips out on the water) we will be able to enjoy at least a few good sightings of this iconic big cat.
The first day there started as every one that followed would, with us breakfasted and making our way to the jetty via the 400m bush walk at 7:00am. Once on board the river boat, lifejackets were donned and we were off. Our 18 year old driver Christiomar and Guide Herley (pronounced ‘early’) proved to be the perfect team. Chris’s boat handling skills were second to none and Herley proved himself to be wildlife guide par excellent.
At a full 45 knots we tore back down the river – a RIB ride to remember! We all had to hang onto our hats and cover our faces as hitting insects at that speed could prove nasty.
Here then are just a few of the highlights of the first two days on the water. Enjoy seeing four Jaguars on the Piquiri River – five jaguars in total on Day 1!
Enjoy ever ‘busy’ activities of Giant Otters and the thrill of watching a large female jaguar attempt to swim across the Cuiaba River on Day 2 and later dig for caiman eggs.
Lastly, spend the evening with a Tapir during an evening game drive. This rarely seen and heaviest of South American mammals was quietly feeding and continued as if we weren’t there. As she walked through the water getting ever closer we could see every detail of this remarkable creature bizarrely related to the rhino and horse.

Video from my SUPERB 1 month trip to Brazil in October 2013:
I received an invitation from my friend Steve Bird to join him and Gina Nichol on one of his Pantanal trips so I did... a no brainer! - great fun birding with Steve and Gina and their groups is always guaranteed (enhanced with Eduardo Patrial as a suber guide and cool cara) and this was not the exception adding a LOAD of lifers for me plus the orgasmic Jaguar experience!
After 10 or so days in Pantanal, Chapada dos Guimaraes and Serra das Araras with the Zoothera lovely group, I did Atlantic Forest birding Intervales State Park for a week with Luiz one of the greatest guides and finest birders in the area for a week adding those badly wanted big antbirds plus a PLETHORA of Atlantic Forest endemics.
To end a great trip, I traveled with my Colombian mate Gustavo Bravo towards Resende where we meet and enjoyed our days with Luciano Lima (AKA Luciano Passarinho!) birding the highlands and lowlands of the Serra da Mantequeira mainly at Itatiaia National Park and also the Serra do Mar looking for really rare and hidding-jewel birds thanks to Luciano endless bird-knowledge of his region!... loads of fun, some beers and great birds again for a week!
550 species of birds recorded from which 285 were life-birds for me... what a marvelous fuck@#ng trip!!!
