WHAT TO EXPECT:
Panthera Onca Expeditions from 20 to 30 Days; This particular expedition will be specifically focused on those interested in an intense and strenuous exploration journey across sporadically explored and unexplored Amazonian territories, as many others, this is an extraordinary program, to a place rich in flora and fauna, where the appearance of the amphibious KING of the Amazon THE JAGUAR in such of inhospitable and little-explored jungle area is not a surprise. It is known that when the precedence of who is at the top of the food chain prevails in any ecosystem, it is a sign or an equivalent of a healthy ecosystem.
This expedition will offer physical challenges in a very complex natural environment, where our well-prepared team of indigenous natives of different Amazonian origins, will show and deliver their unique and collective experience of jungle knowledge, guiding, instructing, and caring for each visitor in transit within their best capabilities.
The Jaguar, Yaguar, or Yaguareté (Panthera Onca); is a fierce carnivore of the Panterinos subfamily and genus Panthera. It is the only one of the five current species of this genus found in America. It is also the largest in America and third in the world, after the tiger (Panthera tigris) and the lion (Panthera leo). It is fundamentally lonely, hunting ambushing, and opportunistic when choosing prey. It is a key species for the stabilization of the ecosystems in which it lives; Being a super-predator, it regulates the populations of the species it captures. Adult specimens have an exceptionally powerful bite, even when compared to other large felids, which allows them to pierce the shells of armored reptiles such as turtles and use an unusual method of killing: directly attack the head of the prey between the ears to tip a lethal bite that cuts through the skull with its fangs reaching the brain.
