Brazil Jaguar & Wildlife Photo Expedition

Smaller groups are the best context in which to experience nature, and this is especially true for our photography expeditions. With no more than 8 travelers, you’re assured plenty of space and personalized attention when you need it. As a small group, we maintain the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions in a way that maximizes photo opportunities. Our Expedition Leader, an expert naturalist and accomplished photographer, is always available to answer your questions, provide tips and techniques, and to help you better understand and photograph the amazing landscapes and wildlife of Brazil's Pantanal.

Easy/Moderate
The overall nature of this itinerary is more sedentary than active, with most of our time spent searching for wildlife from boats and vehicles. Much of our time is spent tracking, viewing and photographing the prime highlight of our itinerary—the jaguar. However, while this trip does not require a substantial degree of physical fitness, the itinerary can feel arduous, with many very early morning starts and long, full days of activities with little downtime. Brazil can also be hot and humid, which can feel tiring in and of itself. In order to participate fully, guests should be able to manage several walks and hikes that are typically one to two miles long, over mostly flat and dry but sometimes uneven terrain. The longest walk, at Caiman Ecological Refuge, is about 2.5 miles long. For safety reasons, in some areas it is not possible to do much walking at all. Where it's possible to explore on foot, we try to arrange more and/or longer walks for guests who wish, but we can't always accomplish that given schedule logistics, weather and safety concerns due to wildlife proximity.

Arrival: Arrive in Sao Paulo by 4 pm in order to attend a welcome orientation and dinner beginning at 6 pm on Day 1.
Departure: You may depart Sao Paulo at any time on Day 11.
