What is the best time to see jaguars in the Brazilian Pantanal?

The best time to see jaguars in the Brazilian Pantanal is during the dry season, from June to October. During these months, water levels recede, concentrating wildlife along rivers and making jaguars more visible as they come out to hunt and drink. The northern Pantanal, particularly around Porto Jofre on the Cuiabá River, is renowned for reliable jaguar sightings. Visiting during this period increases your chances of spotting jaguars and enjoying other rich wildlife experiences in the region.
