Journey with Jaguars ISSUE #3

January 2026 (4 Minute Read)

Hi Guys,

Over the past 5 years on the river, we've answered the same questions again and again.

When is the best time to see jaguars?​
​How many jaguars will I realistically see?​
​What lenses and camera gear do I actually need — if any?​
​What’s the reality of accommodation in Porto Jofre?

So we finally put everything in one place. We’ve built The Ultimate Jaguar Knowledge Hub

​https://journeywithjaguars.com/blog/the-ultimate-jaguar-safari-knowledge-hub​

🐆 The Ultimate Jaguar Knowledge Hub

The world’s most complete, continuously updated guide to jaguars

This page is a central reference for jaguars — their behavior, prey, habitat, the Pantanal ecosystem, and how they are observed and photographed in the wild.
It is continuously updated as new field observations, research, and photography techniques emerge.
