Search for the largest and most elusive predator in the Americas

Caimans

The Pantanal straddles the borders of Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia and is the world's largest wetland region. Its plains and low scrubby forests are home to over 1000 species of bird and 300 different mammals, including tapirs, anteaters, Jabiru storks and the striking Hyacinth macaw.

Concentrating on the incredibly rich northern Patanal in the southwest of Brazil, we divide our time between two lodges, and journey deep into the Pantanal in search of the Jaguar, the largest and most elusive feline in the Americas. These solitary predators, as well as being formidable opponents on land, are strong swimmers and are known to frequent the waterways near Porto Jofre, and we will spend a full four or five days in boats (depending on the departure) hoping for a rare glimpse of this most beautiful of New World hunters.

All departures are designed to maximise our chances of spotting jaguars but for keen photographers we have special departures led by Exodus' very own expert wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein, along with experienced local guides, providing the very best opportunities to capture stunning images of the rich and varied fauna of this unique region. Paul's mantra is simple yet effective: do time at the coal face and the rewards will follow, so be prepared for early starts, long days, plenty of invaluable advice and bags of enthusiasm.

Please note that Paul Goldstein's departures (16 Sep 2012 and 08 Sep 2013) are a day longer than the 'standard' departures and the 08 Sep 2013 departure has a smaller group number.

This trip is a must for any avid wilderness fan or keen wildlife photographer.
