Zusammenfassung:The jaguar (Panthera onca) has been experiencing a considerable range reduction due to habitat loss and poaching. Habitat suitability models have identified areas likely to maintain populations, but field data are scarce for several of them. Between 2012 and 2017, we investigated the jaguar occurrence in 35 communities of the Chinantla region, southern Mexico, throughout camera trapping in non-systematic surveys. We recorded 124 independent events of 23 jaguars in thirteen communities. Jaguars recorded over the years, couples and pregnant females are highlighted in the Chinantla region as a stronghold to the jaguar. El jaguar (Panthera onca) ha experimentado una reducción considerable de su área de distribución debido a la pérdida de hábitat y la cacería. Modelos de hábitat han identificado áreas con probabilidad de mantener poblaciones, sin embargo se carece de información de campo de varias de ellas. Entre 2012 y 2017 se investigó la presencia del jaguar en 35 comunidades de la región Chinantla, sur de México, mediante fototrampeo en muestreos no sistemáticos. Se registraron 124 eventos independientes de 23 jaguares en trece comunidades. Se destacan los jaguares registrados a lo largo de los años, parejas y hembras preñadas y la región de Chinantla como un baluarte del jaguar.
