SOLD OUT
There will be a total of 6 guests on this trip.
Experiencing the nature of the Pantanal is a life change experience. This 8 day tour will be led by conservationists and photographers Roxy Furman (@roxythezoologist) and Henrique Olsen (@henriqueolsen). Meeting of the Waters State Park is home to the largest concentration of jaguars on Earth, making it the best place to observe them in wild! On this tour you'll have the chance to see and photograph the jaguars, giant otters, caimans, yellow anaconda, howler monkey, hyacinth macaw, capybaras and many other species during the safaris.
I will be there as your host, out in the field with you each day, and guiding you with your photography and editing, to help you get the most out of your camera during your trip. We will be guided by Henrique, an ambassador for the Pantanal biome, a member of Chalana Esperança, and Jaguar ID Project Ambassador. He has also been published in multiple publications for his photography work, so is one of the best guides in the region to guide us on this photographic adventure.
Itinerary
Day 1 (September 28th)
Road transfer from Cuiaba (departing at 7am) to Porto Jofre.
There will be plenty of photographic opportunities along the way, so we will stop many times during the drive.
We will arrive in Porto Jofre by midday, ready for a quick lunch before departing on our first boat safari in the afternoon.
Days 2-7 (September 29th until October 4th)
For these six days, we will be going out on boat safaris in search of the jaguars and other incredible wildlife that the Pantanal is home to.
As we will be staying on a Flotel, we will be right at the park entrance, allowing us to get straight out at dawn each day, and begin taking photos with the best morning light.
We will shoot until sunset each day (coming back for a lunch break in the middle of the day).
Day 8 (October 5th)
Road transfer back to Cuiaba for your flight home.
Accommodation
We will be staying on a Flotel during our time in the Pantanal. The flotel is located right on the entrance of the State Park Meeting of the Waters, strategically located between the Piquiri River and the Cuiabá River, which facilitates our journey. As such, we save around 40 minutes per day, so it is the best option to be the first one in the park.
All rooms have AC, a private bathroom, clean towels, and bed linen. There is WiFi available on board too. Rooms are offered on a shared basis (two people per room).
