Jaguars and Cowboys along the Rio Paraguai

On this six-day journey, you’ll discover the fascinating wildlife of the Pantanal: On boat safaris through the strictly protected Taiamã Reserve, you follow the tracks of jaguars, giant otters, and countless other species. On horseback or by jeep, you explore the open savannas of the remote Parque do Guirá, home to anteaters, rheas, and much more.

You’ll experience the Pantanal from two perspectives: first, the life of river communities adapted to the floods, and later, the world of the cowboys who drive massive cattle herds across the dry season plains. Two opposite ways of life, connected by the same natural rhythm – and you right in the middle.

This journey is more than just a vacation – it’s a true expedition into the remote heart of the West Pantanal, with authentic accommodations instead of luxury and unforgettable encounters with one of the world’s most breathtaking ecosystems.
