The Pantanal alternative
This tour offers a short but intense opportunity to enjoy some of the most spectacular wildlife in Bolivia, South America. As for seeing Jaguar, it avoids the crowded scenes of the Pantanal and so makes it a genuine, exclusive and peaceful experience.

The uniqueness is the combination of different habitats within the boundaries of the private estate as, besides agricultural fields, the area hosts gallery forest, woodland and marshes. A network of roads makes access easy compared to the boat restricted vast area of flooded forests in the Pantanal.
