“Thanks for an amazing tour to Pantanal. My daughter and me excited about this. We spent three days in excellent company and saw wonderful nature. Watching the jaguar was an amazing moment. Special thanks to our guide Tito. He was a very friendly person and an excellent guide and really made for us all that was possible in three days.”
— Mikhail Bessudnov, RussiaParaguay river jaguar programs
The perfect way to trace jaguars on the Paraguay river and Taiama Reserve is through the Baiazinha Lodge. Since the Taiama Reserve is a federally protected zone, it is not open to the public and no tour operator is allowed to take tourists to the reserve
