This area harbors a world-record 82 species of large birds, thousands of which can be seen during a 1-h drive on the raised Transpantaneira Road, the only all-year route that penetrates the heart of this enormous wildland.

At the end of the Transpantaneira Road winds a labyrinth of rivers on which our specially-trained trackers and boatmen showed Jaguars to travelers 595 times in 351 guest days in 2006 through 2009. No other location in the Americas offers nearly-guaranteed views of wild Jaguars. Most of our clients also saw Tapirs and Giant Otters.
