Caiman Ecological Refuge is a pioneering private reserve within the Pantanal, widely regarded as one of the most reliable places on Earth to see wild jaguar in their natural habitat.
Comfortable lodges set within the reserve’s grounds, each designed for extended wildlife-watching stays.
A well-regarded dining programme served within the reserve’s main lodge.
Jaguar tracking by vehicle and boat, night drives for nocturnal Pantanal wildlife, and horseback safaris across the wetlands.
The Pantanal holds the world’s highest density of wild jaguar, alongside giant anteater, capybara, giant otter and hyacinth macaw.
Boat-based jaguar tracking along the Pantanal’s rivers gives close, unobstructed sightlines rarely matched anywhere else jaguar are found.
Caiman’s long-running Onçafari jaguar research and habituation project has become one of the most significant big cat conservation programmes in South America.
