Southwild Porte Jofre: Brazil

We left Pousada Pluvial early on 12th July for the slow drive down the Transpantaneira Highway. The road was in reasonable condition but it was slow going as we kept finding attractions along the way.

The video is a little hazy, because of all the dust.

The scenery along the way.

It gets fed the same time every day.

Ocelot

We settled in to our tiny room at the Southwild Lodge & then went to the feeding station especially set up for Ocelot. We were lucky, as it turned up! It didn't show the previous night.We then turned in early as we had a big day on the morrow!

    

We had booked an all day boat trip on 13th July, especially to look for Jaguars. And it didn't disappoint! Up before dawn & eager to be going! In total we saw seven different Jaguars in the day & watched individuals for up to thirty minutes at a time! What a day!

Large-billed Terns

Yellow-billed Tern

American Black Skimmer

This area has been hunted, farmed & ranched 

for over 150 years.

But today it is protected!

Male Black Howler Monkey

This was easily our best views of this species,

as they normally keep their distance.

Young Giant River Otter.

We came across this family party of four.

They gave us unbelievable close views.

It was fantastic to get such close views.

Jaguar watching is big business here!

It has woken up!
