    [description] => 

This unique and exclusive cruise focuses on a land of towering mountains and giant water lilies in search of some of South America’s most spectacular wildlife deep within the little-visited Pantanal National Park. It will be a privilege to visit this pristine wilderness, far from other tourists. Our home for six nights on this exciting Naturetrek charter is the exceptionally comfortable, traditional Brazilian houseboat Panoramico which offers 12 spacious, air-conditioned guest rooms and wonderful hospitality from her friendly crew. During the cruise, the king of the South American cats, the Jaguar, will be high on our ‘wish list’ and we will search comprehensively in the very best areas, using smaller boats to navigate narrow channels.

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth largest in the world. It holds over 50% of the Amazon Rainforest, which itself accounts for approximately 10% of all species in the world, and for this reason it is believed to be the most biodiverse country on the planet! At around 55,000, it has the most known number of plant species, with many more being found, around 3,000 fresh water fish species and over 680 mammals with birds standing at 1,900! The current consensus is that there are six distinct biomes across Brazil: Amazon Rainforest, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado (vast tropical Savanah), Caatinga (dry, thorny, desert forest) Pampa (vast grasslands) and the Pantanal (the world's largest tropical wetland).


Many of our holidays focus on, and incorporate, the vast lowlands of the Pantanal which extend southwards from the plateau of the Mato Grosso in Brazil, to the borders with Paraguay and Bolivia. The Pantanal is a seasonally flooded wetland covering over 80,000 square miles, being roughly the size of France and very sparsely populated. Teeming with life, the Pantanal is a naturalist's dream with an amazing diversity of species to enjoy and many of them more accessible here than anywhere else. It is a mosaic of habitats created by waters that flow into it annually from the southern Cerrado. Each wet season, Cerrado rainwater pours down the Cuiaba, Paraguay and Piquiri rivers, and as their levels rise, they flood the Pantanal’s grasslands and gallery forests with nutrient-rich waters. We run our tours at the very best time of year, between June and early November, staying at the right places, for the right amount of time hence maximising our chances of seeing as much of the incredible wildlife here as we can. With a team of expert local guides with huge experience of Naturetrek groups, we can provide an unrivalled opportunity for success.

TThis unique and exclusive wildlife cruise will give us special access to some little-visited and remote regions of the Pantanal and Pantanal National Park. During it, we will explore a land of waterways laden with giant water lilies, above which tower spectacular granite peaks that rise to over 900 metres, as we search for some of South America’s most spectacular wildlife.

Our home for these six nights will be the exceptionally comfortable ‘Panoramico’, a traditional Brazilian houseboat which offers 12 spacious, air-conditioned guest rooms and wonderful hospitality from her friendly crew. The Jaguar, of course, will be high on our ‘wish-list’, and we will search the very best areas comprehensively for this king of South American cats, transferring to smaller boats in order to search the narrower channels. We will also hope to find Giant Otters, time spent in their presence being another potential treat, while Brazilian Tapir, Giant Anteater and Ocelot may all be seen. Thousands of Yacare Caiman, Capybara and a whole host of special birds will also be enjoyed, amongst them Hyacinth Macaw, Jabiru Stork, all five of South America’s kingfishers, a range of herons, storks, raptors and much more.

Following a direct flight to São Paulo, we will take a domestic flight to Cuiabá and after a night in a rural hotel on the edge of the city, we travel from there to Porto Jofre. The drive will take us along the famous Transpantaneira Road, through open savannahs and wetlands teeming with life, and is a fascinating and rewarding wildlife safari in itself. Bare-faced Curassows and Chestnut-bellied Guans are often to be seen on the road, while Toco Toucans and Ringed Kingfishers may be seen in wayside trees. Red Brocket and Swamp Deer are commonly seen on this journey, and we will even have a chance of seeing Brazilian Tapir and Giant Anteater! On reaching Porto Jofre, we will board the Panoramico and cruise to one of the very best areas for Jaguars, where we will stay for two days. This will give us a wonderful opportunity to find these mighty cats as they hunt for caiman and Capybara along the raised riverbanks. Once found, sightings can often be prolonged and spectacular, and we will make the most of every encounter. Families of vocal Giant Otters will be enjoyed too, whilst Great Black and Black-collared Hawks, Jabiru Storks, Sungrebes, Black Skimmers, Green Ibis and Rufescent Tiger, Capped and Boat-billed Herons are likely to be amongst a plethora of bird species seen.

Next, our vessel will enable us to journey deeper into the heart of the Pantanal than we have ever been before. This will be a long journey — around 140 kilometres — into a pristine wilderness that is seldom reached by other tourists. It will take us into the Pantanal National Park, which protects just a small 340,000-acre core in the heart of this great wildlife region. The national park is spectacular, with its mosaic of clear waterways, crowned with carpets of giant water lilies, adjacent to a breathtaking range of imposing granite mountains. Within it is a unique mosaic of habitats, including a wetland of international importance. As well as exploring the park in small boats to access the smaller channels, we will have the chance to explore on foot here too, walking on the Caracara Hill (Morro do Caracará), an imposing 245-metre outcrop with commanding views of the park. Little and White Woodpeckers, Orange-backed Troupial, Squirrel Cuckoo and various woodcreepers are just some of the species we may find in the dry woodland habitat, alongside the extremely localised Green-cheeked Parakeet. As well as Jaguars, other mammals that may be seen in the gallery forest lining the waterways here include Black Howler and Black-capped Capuchin Monkeys, and maybe even Brazilian Porcupine. We will watch overhead for King and Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures, and in the forest for Blue-fronted and Scaly-headed Parrots, while in the evenings Band-tailed Nighthawks and Pauraques hunt over the water. Indeed there is a truly wonderful range of species to be seen and we will enjoy everything about this special wetland during our privileged stay within it.

Leaving the national park, we will cruise back to Porto Jofre, using our small spotting boats there to further explore some of the smaller channels rich in wildlife. This is where we must disembark, bidding farewell to the Panoramico and heading back up the famous Transpantaneira, off which we will break our journey in a wildlife lodge from which an excursion to a hide to watch for Ocelot will be a fitting finale to this special itinerary.

Those not wishing to stay longer in Brazil will fly homeward on arrival in Cuiabá. But for those of you wishing to extend your holiday with further wildlife exploration, we should be delighted to organise bespoke extensions before or after the cruise. Popular options include further nights in one or more of the wildlife lodges on the Transpantaneira, a quest for the magnificent Harpy Eagle in the southern Amazon rainforest, visiting the Iguazú Falls or just relaxing in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

This unique and exclusive wildlife cruise will give us special access to some little-visited and remote regions of the Pantanal and Pantanal National Park. During it, we will explore a land of waterways laden with giant water lilies, above which tower spectacular granite peaks that rise to over 900 metres, as we search for some of South America’s most spectacular wildlife.

Our home for these six nights will be the exceptionally comfortable ‘Panoramico’, a traditional Brazilian houseboat which offers 12 spacious, air-conditioned guest rooms and wonderful hospitality from her friendly crew. The Jaguar, of course, will be high on our ‘wish-list’, and we will search the very best areas comprehensively for this king of South American cats, transferring to smaller boats in order to search the narrower channels. We will also hope to find Giant Otters, time spent in their presence being another potential treat, while Brazilian Tapir, Giant Anteater and Ocelot may all be seen. Thousands of Yacare Caiman, Capybara and a whole host of special birds will also be enjoyed, amongst them Hyacinth Macaw, Jabiru Stork, all five of South America’s kingfishers, a range of herons, storks, raptors and much more.

Following a direct flight to São Paulo, we will take a domestic flight to Cuiabá and after a night in a rural hotel on the edge of the city, we travel from there to Porto Jofre. The drive will take us along the famous Transpantaneira Road, through open savannahs and wetlands teeming with life, and is a fascinating and rewarding wildlife safari in itself. Bare-faced Curassows and Chestnut-bellied Guans are often to be seen on the road, while Toco Toucans and Ringed Kingfishers may be seen in wayside trees. Red Brocket and Swamp Deer are commonly seen on this journey, and we will even have a chance of seeing Brazilian Tapir and Giant Anteater! On reaching Porto Jofre, we will board the Panoramico and cruise to one of the very best areas for Jaguars, where we will stay for two days. This will give us a wonderful opportunity to find these mighty cats as they hunt for caiman and Capybara along the raised riverbanks. Once found, sightings can often be prolonged and spectacular, and we will make the most of every encounter. Families of vocal Giant Otters will be enjoyed too, whilst Great Black and Black-collared Hawks, Jabiru Storks, Sungrebes, Black Skimmers, Green Ibis and Rufescent Tiger, Capped and Boat-billed Herons are likely to be amongst a plethora of bird species seen.

Next, our vessel will enable us to journey deeper into the heart of the Pantanal than we have ever been before. This will be a long journey — around 140 kilometres — into a pristine wilderness that is seldom reached by other tourists. It will take us into the Pantanal National Park, which protects just a small 340,000-acre core in the heart of this great wildlife region. The national park is spectacular, with its mosaic of clear waterways, crowned with carpets of giant water lilies, adjacent to a breathtaking range of imposing granite mountains. Within it is a unique mosaic of habitats, including a wetland of international importance. As well as exploring the park in small boats to access the smaller channels, we will have the chance to explore on foot here too, walking on the Caracara Hill (Morro do Caracará), an imposing 245-metre outcrop with commanding views of the park. Little and White Woodpeckers, Orange-backed Troupial, Squirrel Cuckoo and various woodcreepers are just some of the species we may find in the dry woodland habitat, alongside the extremely localised Green-cheeked Parakeet. As well as Jaguars, other mammals that may be seen in the gallery forest lining the waterways here include Black Howler and Black-capped Capuchin Monkeys, and maybe even Brazilian Porcupine. We will watch overhead for King and Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures, and in the forest for Blue-fronted and Scaly-headed Parrots, while in the evenings Band-tailed Nighthawks and Pauraques hunt over the water. Indeed there is a truly wonderful range of species to be seen and we will enjoy everything about this special wetland during our privileged stay within it.

emphasis very much on the wildlife experience. However, the owner, Luis, and his obliging team of staff have created a welcoming and friendly environment in which guests are able to mingle and relax. The simple en suite rooms are air-conditioned and the food is wholesome and tasty. Slow drives along the long entrance road are often rewarded with good views of Bare-faced Curassows and Chestnut-bellied Guans, while such mammals as Red Brocket Deer, Brazilian Tapir, Lesser Anteater and even Giant Anteater may also be encountered.

It has eight air-conditioned standard rooms and 12 luxury suites, all en suite, and on the Flotel’s expansive top-deck guests may relax in hammocks and enjoy al fresco meals. This is the brain-child of conservation biologist Charles Munn who operates the hotel as both a Jaguar research base and eco-tourism venture. Since 2005 over 70 different Jaguars have been photographed in the vicinity, so it is hardly surprising that this spot is considered the best place to see these large cats in the wild. Sightings of Giant River Otter are good here too, while the large number of bird species present includes Large-billed and Yellow-billed Tern, Black Skimmer and all five of South America’s kingfisher species. As the only accommodation in the centre of the ‘Jaguar Zone’, the Flotel has the significant advantage of being able to respond immediately to Jaguar sightings via a fleet of spotter boats who radio sightings in.

Brazilian Tapir are a highlight here (best sighted in late September and October), whilst Jaguars can occasionally be seen close to the lodge at dawn and dusk. Ocelot are relatively frequently sighted on night-drives and from the lodge's custom-built photography hide. Other species regularly seen in the vicinity of the lodge or from its two nearby wildlife observation towers include Brown Capuchin Monkeys, the elegant Agami Heron, Jabiru Storks and the world’s largest toucan, the emblematic Toco Toucan.

The lodge’s luxurious rooms are all en suite and there is a pleasant restaurant and a floating deck on the river, perfect for a ‘sun-downer’! Guests have the opportunity to view wildlife on foot along 35 kilometres of trails, with species such as Neotropical Otter, Pacha, Brazilian Tapir and Tayra all possible. Several species of monkey may also be seen crashing through the canopy and these include the endemic White-whiskered Spider Monkey, Night Monkey, Dusky Titi Monkey, Brown Capuchin, Red-handed Howler Monkey and the handsome and endemic Red-nosed Bearded Saki. Cristalino really comes into its own for birders, with close to 600 species identified to date! There are a number of sought-after bamboo specialists such as Rufous-capped Nunlet, Manu Antbird and Chestnut-throated Spinetail whilst larger forest birds include Red-throated Piping-guan and Razor-billed and Bare-faced Curassows. The understorey is the niche of antbirds, antwrens, antshrikes, antpittas and manakins, while six species of macaw regularly add a splash of colour overhead. The possibility of Harpy Eagle and Crested Eagle makes the birding here all the more special!

Highlights

  • A wildlife expedition to reach the remote Pantanal National Park
  • Spectacular scenery with towering mountains and Giant Water Lilies
  • Watch Jaguars in the more remote and exclusive regions of the Pantanal
  • Giant Otter, Tapir, Ocelot, Giant Anteater and other mammals possible
  • Hyacinth Macaws, Toco Toucans, Jabiru Storks just some of the varied birdlife
  • Expert naturalist leaders aboard the exceptionally comfortable houseboat Panoramico

Summary

TThis unique and exclusive wildlife cruise will give us special access to some little-visited and remote regions of the Pantanal and Pantanal National Park. During it, we will explore a land of waterways laden with giant water lilies, above which tower spectacular granite peaks that rise to over 900 metres, as we search for some of South America’s most spectacular wildlife.

Our home for these six nights will be the exceptionally comfortable ‘Panoramico’, a traditional Brazilian houseboat which offers 12 spacious, air-conditioned guest rooms and wonderful hospitality from her friendly crew. The Jaguar, of course, will be high on our ‘wish-list’, and we will search the very best areas comprehensively for this king of South American cats, transferring to smaller boats in order to search the narrower channels. We will also hope to find Giant Otters, time spent in their presence being another potential treat, while Brazilian Tapir, Giant Anteater and Ocelot may all be seen. Thousands of Yacare Caiman, Capybara and a whole host of special birds will also be enjoyed, amongst them Hyacinth Macaw, Jabiru Stork, all five of South America’s kingfishers, a range of herons, storks, raptors and much more.

Following a direct flight to São Paulo, we will take a domestic flight to Cuiabá and after a night in a rural hotel on the edge of the city, we travel from there to Porto Jofre. The drive will take us along the famous Transpantaneira Road, through open savannahs and wetlands teeming with life, and is a fascinating and rewarding wildlife safari in itself. Bare-faced Curassows and Chestnut-bellied Guans are often to be seen on the road, while Toco Toucans and Ringed Kingfishers may be seen in wayside trees. Red Brocket and Swamp Deer are commonly seen on this journey, and we will even have a chance of seeing Brazilian Tapir and Giant Anteater! On reaching Porto Jofre, we will board the Panoramico and cruise to one of the very best areas for Jaguars, where we will stay for two days. This will give us a wonderful opportunity to find these mighty cats as they hunt for caiman and Capybara along the raised riverbanks. Once found, sightings can often be prolonged and spectacular, and we will make the most of every encounter. Families of vocal Giant Otters will be enjoyed too, whilst Great Black and Black-collared Hawks, Jabiru Storks, Sungrebes, Black Skimmers, Green Ibis and Rufescent Tiger, Capped and Boat-billed Herons are likely to be amongst a plethora of bird species seen.

Next, our vessel will enable us to journey deeper into the heart of the Pantanal than we have ever been before. This will be a long journey — around 140 kilometres — into a pristine wilderness that is seldom reached by other tourists. It will take us into the Pantanal National Park, which protects just a small 340,000-acre core in the heart of this great wildlife region. The national park is spectacular, with its mosaic of clear waterways, crowned with carpets of giant water lilies, adjacent to a breathtaking range of imposing granite mountains. Within it is a unique mosaic of habitats, including a wetland of international importance. As well as exploring the park in small boats to access the smaller channels, we will have the chance to explore on foot here too, walking on the Caracara Hill (Morro do Caracará), an imposing 245-metre outcrop with commanding views of the park. Little and White Woodpeckers, Orange-backed Troupial, Squirrel Cuckoo and various woodcreepers are just some of the species we may find in the dry woodland habitat, alongside the extremely localised Green-cheeked Parakeet. As well as Jaguars, other mammals that may be seen in the gallery forest lining the waterways here include Black Howler and Black-capped Capuchin Monkeys, and maybe even Brazilian Porcupine. We will watch overhead for King and Lesser Yellow-headed Vultures, and in the forest for Blue-fronted and Scaly-headed Parrots, while in the evenings Band-tailed Nighthawks and Pauraques hunt over the water. Indeed there is a truly wonderful range of species to be seen and we will enjoy everything about this special wetland during our privileged stay within it.

Leaving the national park, we will cruise back to Porto Jofre, using our small spotting boats there to further explore some of the smaller channels rich in wildlife. This is where we must disembark, bidding farewell to the Panoramico and heading back up the famous Transpantaneira, off which we will break our journey in a wildlife lodge from which an excursion to a hide to watch for Ocelot will be a fitting finale to this special itinerary.

Those not wishing to stay longer in Brazil will fly homeward on arrival in Cuiabá. But for those of you wishing to extend your holiday with further wildlife exploration, we should be delighted to organise bespoke extensions before or after the cruise. Popular options include further nights in one or more of the wildlife lodges on the Transpantaneira, a quest for the magnificent Harpy Eagle in the southern Amazon rainforest, visiting the Iguazú Falls or just relaxing in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
