Summary:
We booked this amazing destination for a 3 night safari in the Pantanal area of Brazil to see Jaguars. We missed our flight so it unfortunately turned into a 2 night tour. I would suggest arriving a day early to avoid this situation. The airport in Brasilia is not run well and was a total nightmare. Our guide was so kind and even took us out on the last morning before we left for the airport to make up for the missed day. He did not have to do that for us but he did. In a day and a half we saw 9 different Jaguars. It was the best thing we did on our 18 day tour of South America. We were fortunate to stay on a houseboat in the middle of Jaguar country. So, we just hopped in the small boat and within minutes we saw Jaguars and more beautiful birds than I have ever seen. The food was good and the wine was refreshing. I actually cried when we left.

Summary:
Took the three day safari tour with Tito in late January 2025. Despite being out of season we got to see some really interesting animals! Tito was a great tour guide, really knowledgeable and spoke very good English. He was able to find some quite rare animals for the time of year based on little things such as noises or prints. You get plenty of time to discover some animals. We went to Hotel Piuval, which is a nice setting with lovely grounds and good food. Highly recommended.
