Ophidian.
Journey deep into Earth's largest tropical wetland for unprecedented field encounters with wild jaguars, giant river otters, and yacare caiman.
Journey into the world’s largest wetland – the Pantanal of Brasil. South of the Amazon, this vast ecosystem is a paradise for wildlife lovers and photographers alike. The highlight of this adventure is the jaguar, one of the most elusive cats on Earth. While most people in the Neotropics may live their whole lives without seeing one, we’ll take you to a unique conservation area where sightings are virtually guaranteed.
But the jaguar is just the beginning. Expect unforgettable encounters with giant otters, hyacinth macaws, giant anteaters, anacondas, caiman, coati, and so much more. Whether you’re behind the lens or simply soaking it all in, this is a once-in-a-lifetime journey into one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
Track apex predators along serene river banks by boat with sightings at close range under expert guidance.
Witness vibrant flocks of cobalt hyacinth macaws, jabiru storks, and kingfishers in pristine wetland canopies.
