Jaguar Ecological Reserve LodgeWelcome 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.

MonkeyThe 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!
