We present new records of Jaguar (Panthera onca) from the department of Cesar, in the Caribbean region of Colombia. In addition, we report some incidents of deaths due to illegal hunting and vehicle collision in two important conservation zones: the Serranía del Perijá and Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. These records are the result of biodiversity assessments and conservation projects of the wildlife Network Program of CORPOCESAR and constitute an effort to document the distribution and the conflict between humans and jaguars for the northernmost populations of the country.
