Whether you are a professional wildlife photographer or someone who just wants to enjoy the Pantanal, you wont go wrong going with Eduarda and her staff.

  • She lives year round in the Pantanal. Rainy season and Dry season. It is her home – so she has an intimate knowledge of the area.
  • She KNOWS the jaguars and their behaviors. EVERY TIME she put our boat in the best position because she knew how the animal would move and behave.
  • She is also an incredible birder and is familiar with all the other wildlife of the Pantanal.
  • She is easy to communicate with, organized, professional and can customize the trip based on your interests.
  • She is also a licensed boat driver.
  • Duda brings lunches on the boat, so you can stay out all day and not miss any of the action – and enjoy the river when other boats are leaving.
  • She provided other “goodies” on the boat that no one else did. Not only waters, but juices, sodas, coconut waters (until I drank them all ), cakes, cookies, nuts, fruits and more! She even brought a whole fresh pineapple! 

We can’t stress enough how important all these things are to making your trip both successful and enjoyable!

Our Personal Experience

The extreme importance of the right boat

Duda always made sure we had a proper boat *WITH a sun/rain shade.

In the afternoon, the sun is HOT and beating down on you. There may be times that you are sitting in one spot quite some time with no breeze. Some boats did not have a sunshade and we found this quite shocking. It also rained twice while we were on the river, and our cameras were well protected.
