When to visit

Best time to visit

Good time to visit

Average time to visit

All year round destination. The climate is hot and humid throughout the whole year. Between June and November, it rains less (although it is a tropical rainforest and therefore can rain at any time) and it is hotter. From December to May the rainfall is more intense and the water levels increase and large marshlands form both in the archipelago and on the mainland. The flooded land reaches the highest levels between March and April and the lowest between August and October. When the land is flooded, more areas can be accessed by boat however during the 'drier' season beaches are formed along the archipelago and there is more chance to see wildlife such as caiman and capybaras on the river banks.

Even more biodiverse than the Amazon, it's an absolute must for curious travellers wanting to get off the beaten track and spot more wildlife. You'll be staying at one of our favourite lodges and days will be spent on fantastic jeep safaris in search of the elusive jaguar, horseback rides across the savannah as well as boat tours and good old-fashioned hikes. Home to 53,000 hectares, the ranch is located in the heart of the southern Pantanal region, hosting one of the greatest concentrations of wildlife in the Americas.

Resident naturalist guides will accompany you on fascinating excursions in specially adapted vehicles, on foot and by canoe. During your stay you will be able to enjoy two activities during the day and one nocturnal. Activities include: walking trails in the woods, ranch tours, 4x4 photographic safari, Canadian canoe trip, nocturnal spotlighting and a Jaguar lecture. Also, the sunsets here are magical, the waters across the vast floodplains reflect the vibrant red and orange hues, so have your camera ready!

On your second day here you will get the chance to spend the day and evening with the Jaguar Habituation Team. Although nothing is guaranteed, this is without doubt the best chance you’ll have anywhere in South America to observe a jaguar in its natural habitat.

Accommodation: Caiman Ecological Refuge ( 4 nights )

Day 14-15

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Your trip will conclude in Rio de Janeiro, with its instantly recognisable landmarks, where you’ll be staying on one of the world’s most famous beaches – Copacabana! Rio is a fantastic city with a lively atmosphere, plenty to see and do and miles of sun-drenched coastline to enjoy. Head up to one of Rio’s vantage points for an incredible bird’s eye view of the sweeping bay and to catch a glimpse of the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. Do as the locals do and potter along the beach boulevard stopping for an ice-cold drink and some bar snacks whilst the skilful kids play football in the sand and surfers ride the rolling waves, or just lounge poolside with your holiday read, soaking in the last of that famous Brazilian sunshine, before your onward journey home.
