Resting on the banks of the Cuiabá River in southern Brazil, Porto Jofre is part of the Pantanal wetlands system - one of the most beautiful and biodiverse corners of the planet. The rainforests, rivers and estuaries surrounding the town are home to a incredible array of bird and animal life, including monkeys, tapirs, capybaras, macaws, giant otters, armadillos, anteaters and even the elusive jaguar. This one of the few places in the world where you may still be able to catch a glimpse of these majestic cats in the wild. It is also an excellent sports fishing destination, with rich stocks of feisty game fish such as golden dorado, tucunaré and pacu.
