To start we flew from London to Campo Grande via Sao Paulo. We drove eastwards for about 200 kilometres to our lodge Pousada Aguape in the Southern Pantanal. After three nights we travelled back to Campo Grande for a night before flying to Cuiaba. From Cuiaba we drove to the start of the Transpantaneira and to Aymara Lodge for three nights. Next it was back to the Transpantaneira road to our lodge in Porto Jofre for three nights to see the highlight of the trip - The Jaguar.
These pages show in detail the wildlife I saw during the trip but for a more general view of the journey please link here.
