The Pantanal Wetlands are the world’s largest expanse of flooded plains, covering 140,000 km² of countless bird species, endemic plants, Alligators, mammals, marine life and yes, even elusive Jaguars! Stepping in the footsteps of this mystical creature is worthy of its own dedicated tour and experience, particularly as even while we embark on our quest, there will be no shortage of wildlife encounters and tropical flora to be relished in their own right. Traveling mainly by boat through the Pantanal will give us our best opportunity to both catch glimpse of the ever-evasive ‘big cat’, while also having minimal impact on the natural environment around us, meaning that this vital though fragile ecosystem is preserved for years to come.
