Jaguar Research Center Pantanal Jaguar Sightings
At the end of the Transpantaneira Road winds a labyrinth of rivers on which our specially-trained trackers and boatmen have shown Jaguars to guests 397 times in 220 guest days in the 2007 and 2008 dry seasons. The Jaguar Research Center is on the forested banks of the Three Brothers River in the very heart of the 270,000 acre Meeting of the Waters State Park. The Jaguar Research Center is the only lodge in this enormous jaguar reserve.
The Jaguar Research Center Jaguar Park
Most of the Jaguars in this huge “Jaguar park” appear over and over again, and we now have both a complete face dossier of the 15 most frequently seen cats and a growing number of data points that allow us to map the overlapping territories of these mighty creatures.
Jaguar Research Center Accommodation
The Jaguar Research Center is composed of ten enormous, elevated, 20 x 30 ft (6x9m), African-style, walk-in tents made of thick canvas. Each tent has hardwood floors, 2 queen beds, 2 stand-up, moveable fans; electricity for 5 h per day, an en-suite bathroom with a dry ecotoilet and warm shower, and electrical sockets for charging cameras and computers. Both 110-volt and 220-volt electricity are available at the camp.
Jaguar Research Center Dining Room and Lounge
Our dining room/lounge is an even larger elevated tent with hardwood flooring and excellent fans. Both the dining room tent and the sleeping tents are nestled in the shade on the wooded banks of the 70m wide Three Brothers River.
The Pantanal’s Big Three
The “big three” mammals of the Pantanal are the jaguar, the tapir, and the 70-pound (30-kilo), pack-living giant otter. Our itineraries offer very high probabilities of seeing all three on a 6-night stay at Pantanal Wildife Center and Jaguar Research Center. Giant otters normally are seen at PWC during the June through November period, but also are seen on most days at JRC. A number of the 3-4 giant otter groups that live near our two lodges are quite habituated, permitting superb photo opportunities of these hyperactive, entertaining “river wolves”. No other lodges in South America can offer almost certain viewing of the Big Three of the South American rainforests.

Transfers between Cuiaba airport and Jaguar Research Center normally take about 7-8 hours. Most of the trip is by road, but the last 40-50 min are by boat on the Cuiabá River. If you don’t stop at all, the trip can be done easily in as little as 5:00-5:30 h, but you will not have time to enjoy the amazing wildlife en route. If you are going straight from Cuiabá to JRC, we recommend leaving no later than 900 h so that you can savor the transfer, which is a nature-rich adventure in itself.
