BEST DESTINATIONS TO OBSERVE JAGUARS IN THE WILD !

TOP 3 DESTINATIONS TO SEE A JAGUAR IN THE WILD 


Seeing a Jaguar in the wild is one of the most amazing experiences a nature lover or photographer can have. Some people can spend a lifetime searching for them and never have a single sighting. That being said there are now great Jaguar watching destinations and here are my personal favorite destinations to see this incredible Big Cat in the Wild.

Here is a list of the TOP 3 BEST DESTINATIONS TO SEE A JAGUAR IN THE WILD.


1: North Pantanal Brazil 
2 : Jaguarland Reserve Bolivia 
3 Kaa Iya National Park Bolivia 

NORTH PANTANAL

Topping the list is the North Pantanal of Brazil, this is the easiest location to observe Jaguars. That being said, its current ease now makes it a massive draw for travellers whom flock here in the thousands. This can make Jagaur viewing a little too touristic as boats battle for the best photographic positions for their clients. Tours here are also much more expensive than other regions.

Jaguarland Reserve in Bolivia is my personal favourite destination to see Jaguars in the wild. Its a private Reserve and offers amazing Jaguar sightings. In 2019 we visited this area 8 times and had 24 different sightings. In addition to Jagaur watching, this Reserve is also incredible for small cats such as Ocelots and Jaguarundi. Pink Dolphins can be seen with relative ease and other animals observed are Tapirs, Pumas, Sloths, Macaws, Marsh Deer, and much more.  This world class Jaguar watching is an amazing alternative and more affordable option for Jagaur tours than the North Pantanal. 

KAA IYA NATIONAL PARK 


Kaa Iya National Park in Santa Cruz Department of Bolivia is my 3rd choice for the best destinations to see Jaguars in the wild. Its remote, wild and rarely visited by tourists. Seeing a Jaguar here is an incredible experience as the Jaguars here are leaner and more brazen then other areas. We have had Jaguars literally walk right up to the 4WD and sit for hours on end.  Kaa iya National Park is not only a great destination for Jaguars, its also perhaps one of the very best locations to see Pumas, Ocelots and Tapirs as well.
