Impressive images and cats. The sheer size displayed in #2 is incredible, love how the pattern and color changes as it rolls to the undersides of the Jaguar in this image. The backlit image is touching, nice capture Javier. Looks like you had close encounters with these cats, gives me goosebumps!
I always look forward to your picture from South America. This is an incredible set of these cats. You've added another item to my list of place to go / things to photograph.
In Torres del Paine - Chile it is possible to walk with the Pumas and they are totally harmless, on a couple of occasions they crossed next to us at less than 5 meters, it is an incredible experience.
In Pantanal you can also be very close to the Jaguar, not as close as in Chile but on a couple of occasions we were 15 meters from them.
Both destinations are very good for photographing these felines and the experience is unique.

These are wild animals, Torres del Paine in Chile is the best place to photograph Pumas and Pantanal in Brazil is the best place to photograph Jaguars.

The images are good. Is this a Game park or some sort of enclosure?
Thanks for your kind words, let me know if you need help planning a trip, regards.
