We departed Santa Cruz and took the 5 hour drive to our exclusive wildlife watching Paradise of Jaguarland Reserve Bolivia , we set up camps and begun the first of our Safari drives.

As we were heading to a proven Jaguar watching area of the property i caught something out of my eye and it appeared to be a Jaguar in the distance, upon closer inspection it was not one but two Jaguars !!!
TWO JAGUARS !! |
