Hotel Porto Jofre Pantanal Norte

Northern Pantanal

32 Rooms
|
From $80 per person/night
Where jaguars rule the riverbanks & the wilderness is on your doorstep.
At the dusty end of the Transpantaneira's 147km journey, this unpretentious lodge delivers exactly what serious wildlife enthusiasts crave: proximity to South America's most elusive predator. Forget fancy facilities – you're here because this stretch of the Cuiabá River hosts the world's densest jaguar population. Between July and October, multiple daily sightings are genuinely common, not mere marketing speak. The simply styled rooms won't win any design awards, but when you're watching a jaguar wrestle a caiman at sunrise, thread counts become irrelevant. Passionate guides who know every riverside hunting spot make the magic happen, while the buffet keeps you fuelled for long days on the water.

Casa Caiman in Caiman Ecological Refuge

Southern Pantanal

18 Rooms
|
From $690 per person/night
A refuge for wandering souls and jaguars alike, this is Brazil at its wildest.
One of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, the Pantanal is just the place for an adventure. Jaguars prowl its forests, anacondas sun themselves on fallen trees and giant anteaters lope through the undergrowth. But in this wild and wonderful place, good accommodation is hard to come by – so let us introduce you to the Casa Caiman. Actually part of a 53,000-hectare, family-run cattle ranch deeply committed to preserving this intrepid corner of the world, the refugio is pioneering eco-tourism in the Southern Pantanal. One of their most successful projects involves the habituation of jaguars – they have a 90% success rate for sightings in the dry season! In between the many excursions that you will enjoy, Caiman Ecological Refuge offers all the necessary infrastructure and plenty of comfort for travellers to rest and contemplate nature in their rooms.

In fact you can quite literally roll out of bed and onto the sand that made Rio famous!
