    You hit the jackpot! We visited a few years back yet saw no jaguars, and here you are finding an entire family. Posted 9 years ago

      And I was so excited, that I couldn't hold the camera properly;-). Everything was shaking - the boat and me;-). My Ex has extraordinerary film footage. He was the only one staying cool;-) Posted 9 years ago

        Based on our guide back then, in his entire career in the Pantanal (more than 10 years), he only saw Jaguars twice. So this is really rare.

        Of course, it is a big place, so maybe it also depends on the exact location.         Posted 9 years ago

          According to other people there are some places in the Pantanal, where the chance is very slim to spot one?! Rio Cuiaba seems to be the hotspot to go. Posted 9 years ago
