Following Jaguars in Brazil’s Pantanal

To minimize long overland drives and complex logistics, we use private flights between key destinations. These flights provide direct access to remote regions, maximizing comfort and time in the field while ensuring a smoother overall travel experience. 

Trip price includes: Accommodations, services of Earthwatch Expedition's professional Expedition Leader(s), local guides and lodge staff, all meals from dinner on Day 1 through breakfast on Day 11, some gratuities, airport transfers on Day 1 and final day, all activities and entrance fees, all taxes, permits and service fees. 

Travel to and from the start and end point of your trip, alcoholic beverages, some gratuities, passports and visa fees, optional activities, items of a personal nature (phone calls, laundry, etc.), airline baggage fees, airport and departure taxes (if any), required medical evacuation insurance, optional travel protection insurance. 

Internal air: All scheduled and private charter flights within the itinerary (this will be listed separately on our invoicing). 

Since the areas we travel to are remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require that all guests have, at minimum, medical evacuation insurance for this program. This is for the safety of all guests. We require that your chosen independent insurance plan includes at least $250,000 in medical evacuation coverage. To protect your investment and to provide peace of mind while you travel, we also strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance. Plans may cover everything from medical treatment to trip cancellations and delays and lost luggage. Please contact our office if you would like more information about the medical evacuation and comprehensive travel insurance policies we offer by calling 800-548-7555.

This trip begins and ends in Sao Paulo. Because this is a long international journey, we recommend that you arrive the night before Day 1 to rest from your travels and begin the trip refreshed. For guests who come in early, recommended hotels will be included in your pre-departure materials. 

If you plan to arrive on Day 1, you must arrive in Sao Paulo by 4 pm in order to attend a welcome orientation and dinner beginning at 6 pm. 

You may depart Sao Paulo at anytime on Day 10.
