Welcome
to the Jaguar Ecological Reserve! We are proud to offer guests
from around the world an unmatched wildlife experience in
the heart of the Pantanal. For over a decade our guests have
enjoyed the comforts of a family-run lodge, the expertise
of local guides, and a spectacular setting accessible by car
or truck. Our guests enjoy some of Brazil’s most beautiful
scenery and wildlife, while supporting a community-based ecotourism
project.
The Reserve and the surrounding ranches are one of the best places in Latin America to see a jaguar. Approximately one-third of our visitors who stay for three or more days see a jaguar at the Reserve or nearby. While we can’t promise that you will see a jaguar, we do guarantee that you will see other breathtaking wildlife during your stay. Smaller cats such as the ocelot, as well as tapir, giant anteater, peccary, howler monkey, caiman and hundreds of bird species, are regularly seen here.
The
Jaguar Ecological Reserve offers a unique
glimpse into the local Pantaneiro culture. We are proud to
employ only local Pantaneiros, whose knowledge of the region
will enhance your visit. By visiting the Reserve you will
directly contribute to a community-based conservation project
aimed at protecting the biodiversity and culture of one of
the largest wetlands in the world. We hope you will visit
us!
