It looks like my GF and myself have decided on going to the Pantanal next Sept.
We have begun getting recommendation and researching it, if any of you have any referrals or recommendations, I'm all ears. Thanks guys  (05-22-2018, 08:50 PM)Pckts Wrote: It looks like my GF and myself have decided on going to the Pantanal next Sept.@Pckts I sent a message to Rafael Hoogesteijn a few minutes back, let's wait for his response he works with Jaguars in El Pantanal. I will let you know when he responds here my Friend.  (05-22-2018, 08:50 PM)Pckts Wrote: It looks like my GF and myself have decided on going to the Pantanal next Sept. Oo, PC you are serious man. After lions and tigers now you seems want to put in the basket a jaguar, all Big Three cats collection... I have also got lions, tigers and leopards back in India, but didn't succeed to catch a jaguar in Costa Rica this March. Probably jaguar is the most difficult from big cats to be seen. Wish you success! And once you are in Brazil probably your GF will want also to see a Copa Cabana beach in Rio altogether with Pantanal...
Believe it or not but I am hearing that seeing jaguars in the Pantanal is all but guaranteed.
These are coming from reputable accounts as well. I’ll definitely be doing the Christ monument and copa cabana after in rio. Thanks @epaiva I really appreciate it. 
Great choice @Pckts sightings is all, but guaranteed now there and that must be amazing, to catch a glimpse of the jaguar! A friend of my college was there last year and had many sightings of jaguars and he was blown away by their size. He was there for just 2-3 days.
I have always wanted to go there myself especially after seeing the other cats, but I'm just not getting comfortable with the language barrier. I always pu**y out right before I'm supposed to book it... I have been in Brazil, but that was with a large group of friends for the World Cup, but getting out to the Pantanal alone, It just seems difficult. But I'm sure you and your girlfriend will have a wonderful experience there, it's after all perhaps the most beautiful place on earth. Just a little jealous..

Ok guys, it's actually happening... albeit, not for over a year. But my intial deposit is paid and it's scheduled for next Sept.
I decided to go with "Pantanal & Rainforest Expeditions" https://www.pantanalrainforests.com/ While it's a tough decision to choose who to go with when you do these trips, Paulo enticed me with his photos which you can see on his FB and made me feel most comfortable when discussing with him and Helen, his wife. https://www.facebook.com/Pantanalrainforestsexpeditions https://www.facebook.com/ExpeditionsBraz...1762580373 (06-07-2018, 10:18 PM)Pckts Wrote: Ok guys, it's actually happening... albeit, not for over a year.

@Pckts , would you want to come to China？as far as I'm concerned, the ChangLong wildlife park will be completed in QingYuan, which located in the northern Canton province and it's my hometown too. I can be your local guide and let you have a special experience in China, if so, I would appreciate it and looking forward to your reply!!!
