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

At 7 a.m. breakfast is served at the UeSo Lodge. Around 10:30 a.m., we set off and drive about 107 kilometres south to the very end of the legendary Transpantaneira: Porto Jofre. On the way, we stop several times to watch birds and wildlife. With a bit of luck, you might even see an anteater or a tapir. Around lunchtime, we enjoy a packed lunch from the UeSo kitchen – somewhere in a particularly beautiful spot in nature. Upon arrival in Porto Jofre, we check in at the UeSo Chalana Pantanal. In the afternoon, a major adventure awaits: your first Jaguar observation tour! We spend about two or three hours exploring the riverbanks, keeping a keen eye out for the king of the Pantanal. Then it’s back to the UeSo Chalana Pantanal, where a tasty dinner awaits you on board. You’ll spend the night in your booked cabin. Drinks and snacks are available at the kiosk – they’ll be listed separately and can be paid when you check out.

Day 2: Chalana UeSo Pantanal - UeSo Pantanal Lodge

Breakfast is served at 7 a.m. – and by 8 a.m. at the latest, we cast off for another exciting boat tour in search of wildlife. For a few hours, we cruise through the stunning river landscape once more – maybe we’ll spot one last jaguar? We enjoy our packed lunch in a relaxed setting on board the motorboat. Afterwards, we return to the UeSo Chalana to load our luggage – and around 2 p.m., we set off on the journey back along the legendary Transpantaneira towards 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!
