Wild Brazil Photographic Tour

 
This tour gives you 2 fantastic locations in Brazil. Both are very different and offer so much photographically. This tour gives you the opportunity to photograph some of Brazil’s most sort after mammals including Jaguar, Ocelot, Maned Wolf, Giant River Otter and Tapir. It also gives you plenty of time to photograph some of the most iconic Brazilain birds. It is an itinerary packed with amazing wildlife and so many photographic opportunities.

Almost 10 times the size of the Everglades, Brazil’s Pantanal is the world’s largest freshwater wetland. A Pantanal tour will give you the chance to see some of its many exotic plants and one of the biggest concentration of large animals in World. Jaguar, giant otter, anaconda and caiman are just some of the unique species to be found here.

Seasonal rainfalls and flooding characterize the region. This sets the stage for one of the best bird and wildlife-spotting experiences imaginable.
The wet season (January to March) offers beautiful water landscapes, flocked with colourful birds. Capybara, crab-eating fox, and Pampas deer are just some of the species you might see.

In April, the rains stop and the water level recedes, giving rise to lagoons and water puddles. Thousands of fish are trapped, providing a food banquet for water birds.

July to October is the dry season and the best time to observe wildlife. The fields begin to dry, providing vast grazing areas where mammals search for food and water.

Cunhataí Porã Lodge, located within the Reserva Ecológica Cunhataí Porã in Mato Grosso, Brazil, offers an outstanding wildlife experience in a region where southern Amazonian forests meet the Cerrado. The lodge combines comfortable accommodation with guided nature activities, including forest walks, boat excursions, observation towers, and specialized wildlife-viewing outings. With more than 480 recorded bird species and a rich diversity of mammals, the reserve has become one of Brazil’s most exciting destinations for birdwatchers, wildlife photographers, and naturalists.

The reserve is particularly renowned for its opportunities to observe the maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus), which the lodge describes as one of its flagship wildlife attractions and a major draw for photographers. The maned wolf is South America’s largest wild canid, distinguished by its long black legs, reddish coat, oversized ears, and characteristic dark mane. Despite its name, it is not closely related to true wolves and leads a largely solitary lifestyle. Guests can join dedicated wildlife excursions and nocturnal spotlighting sessions that provide excellent chances to encounter and photograph this iconic species in its natural habitat.
