Day 1: UeSo Pantanal Lodge - Jaguar Safari Chalana UeSo (1 night)

Breakfast is served at the UeSo Lodge. Afterward, we head out and drive about 107 kilometres south, all the way to the end of the legendary Transpantaneira, to Porto Jofre. Along the way, we make several stops to observe birds and wildlife. With a bit of luck, you might even spot an anteater or a tapir.  Around lunchtime, we enjoy a packed lunch from the UeSo kitchen – somewhere in a particularly beautiful spot in nature. Your consumed drinks will be recorded. Upon arrival in Porto Jofre, we check in at the UeSo Chalana Pantanal. In the afternoon, a major adventure awaits: our first Jaguar observation tour! We spend about three and a half hours exploring the riverbanks, keeping a keen eye out for the king of the Pantanal. Dinner and overnight stay will be in your cabin aboard the UeSo Chalana Pantanal. Drinks and snacks are available at the kiosk – you’ll be well taken care of.

Day 2: Chalana UeSo Pantanal - UeSo Pantanal Lodge

Breakfast is served at 7:00 AM – and by 8:00 AM at the latest, it's time to set sail: We embark on the next exciting boat tour in search of wildlife. For about three hours, we glide through the impressive river landscape – perhaps a final jaguar will make an appearance?  Around noon, lunch will be served aboard the boat. Please remember to pack up your cabin beforehand. After 1:00 PM, we say goodbye to the UeSo Chalana, and the return transfer will bring you back comfortably to the UeSo Lodge.


Notice:
For your jaguar tour to the Chalana-Boat, your big luggage stays at the reception – only a light backpack for 2 days comes aboard the cabin boat. When you return, you can pick up your luggage there. During high season, your original room might no longer be available, but don’t worry – we’ll make sure you get a cosy and equivalent one.

So, keep your camera ready – the jaguars are waiting!
