Where Jaguars Swim and
Anteaters Roam
A Cheesemans’ guest reports from Brazil’s Pantanal · 16 days · 29 jaguar sightings
In August 2025, Cheesemans’ guests Bruce and Virginia spent 16 days traveling through the northern and southern Pantanal, the largest tropical wetland on Earth. Bruce kept the field notes and Virginia photographed everything: a giant anteater carrying a baby on its back, giant river otters crunching fish, and 29 jaguar sightings, including seven in a single day.
Along the way, the group met researchers working to protect jaguars, giant anteaters, and Hyacinth Macaws as the fire seasons grow more dangerous. Read their full trip report to see what a journey through the Pantanal can look like.
