From the quieter South Pantanal near Corumbá to the legendary jaguar corridors of the North Pantanal along the Transpantaneira Road, Nick’s Adventures Bolivia connects travelers with two of South America’s best wildlife-watching regions — both within easy reach of a Bolivia itinerary.
Overview
The Pantanal is the world’s largest tropical wetland, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve spanning the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Each year, seasonal flooding shapes one of the richest wildlife ecosystems on the continent — and nowhere on Earth offers a higher concentration of jaguars.
Nick’s Adventures Bolivia offers two distinct ways to experience it. The North Pantanal, accessed via Cuiabá and the famous Transpantaneira Road, is the classic jaguar-watching region, with daily boat-based safaris along rivers where sightings are frequent. The South Pantanal, reached via Corumbá, offers a quieter, less-touristic alternative through the same wetland corridor — ideal for travelers who want a more intimate experience with truly wild, non-habituated jaguars.
Both itineraries combine naturally with a Bolivia wildlife circuit through Santa Cruz, making the Pantanal an easy extension for guests already exploring Bolivia’s national parks and reserves.

tour plan
01
A quieter, less-touristic alternative to the North Pantanal, departing from Corumbá on the Bolivia–Brazil border. This itinerary focuses on boat-based safaris in search of truly wild, non-habituated jaguars, alongside giant otters, anacondas and giant anteaters — a great fit for families, photographers, solo travelers and couples.
02
The North Pantanal is the classic jaguar-watching region, reached via the iconic Transpantaneira Road from Cuiabá. With a primary focus on jaguar encounters, this itinerary includes multiple daily river safaris by boat — many travelers also see giant otters, capybaras, tapirs, anacondas, hyacinth macaws and hundreds of bird species along the way.
Both Pantanal itineraries connect easily with a wider Bolivia adventure through Santa Cruz — including Jaguarland Reserve and the national parks of eastern Bolivia. Nick’s Adventures Bolivia can design a seamless multi-destination circuit across the Brazil–Bolivia border, tailored to your travel dates and interests.
Both tours start and end in Brazil - the North Pantanal tour in Cuiabá, and the South Pantanal tour in Corumbá, on the Bolivia - Brazil border. Travelers coming from a Bolivia itinerary typically connect via Santa Cruz, and Nick's Adventures Bolivia can help coordinate the logistics of crossing into Brazil.
