- 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.

JAGUAR PROBABILITIES
With 250 Jaguars sightings by guests in 160 search days in the 2007 and 2008 dry seasons, we experienced a 90% chance per day of seeing a Jaguar and a daily average of 1.8 Jaguars. Sightings vary considerably according to heat, cold, and water levels on rivers. We cannot completely guarantee a Jaguar, but we have by far the best Jaguar record in the world, and we believe that the data and the tens of thousands of Jaguar photographs taken by guests speak for themselves.
Weather Warning
Ten percent of days during the May-September “dry-season” are cold and sometimes even rainy, with high and low temperatures of 9-12 degrees C (48 to 54 degrees F). For windy, cold boat rides, bring rainwear and warm winter coats and hats. Ninety percent of the days are hot and sunny.
