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

Breakfast is served at 7:00 AM – after which we set off at 9:30 AM towards Porto Jofre, located at the end of the Transpantaneira. The journey spans around 107 kilometers, but we take our time, stopping frequently to observe birds and wildlife along the way. With some luck, you may even spot an anteater or a tapir.  We take a break at a peaceful spot in nature and enjoy a packed lunch from the UeSo kitchen. Your consumed drinks will be noted. Upon arrival in Porto Jofre, we check into our cabins aboard the UeSo Chalana Pantanal. Afterward, you have time to explore the surroundings of the Cuiabá River or simply relax. Dinner and overnight stay will be in your reserved cabin on the boat. Any drinks or items purchased from the kiosk on board will be noted and can be conveniently paid for later at the UeSo Pantanal Lodge.


Day 2: Chalana UeSo Pantanal 

Breakfast is served at 7:00 AM – and by 8:00 AM, we set off with the motorboat. A full day on the water awaits us as we explore the stunning river landscapes around the Cuiabá, Tres Irmãos, São Lourenço, and Piquiri rivers. This is jaguar territory – and the chances are high that we’ll spot one of these majestic big cats lounging on the riverbank or even hunting.  
Around noon, we enjoy a packed lunch on board the boat, surrounded by nature with a view of the water. Afterward, we continue our journey, keeping our eyes peeled for more jaguars and wildlife during the next three hours. By approximately 4:00 PM, we return to the Chalana. The rest of the afternoon is yours to relax, read, or simply enjoy the tranquil surroundings. In the evening, a delicious meal awaits you at the ship’s restaurant, followed by an overnight stay in your cozy cabin aboard.

Day 3: Chalana UeSo Pantanal - UeSo Pantanal Lodge

Breakfast is served at 7:00 AM – and by 8:00 AM, we’re ready to set sail for another exciting wildlife boat tour. For about three hours, we glide once more through the impressive river landscape – perhaps we’ll catch a final glimpse of a jaguar?  
Around noon, lunch will be served on board. 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 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 3 days comes aboard the cabin boat. When you return, you can pick up your luggage there.
