Jaguares is a Mexican rock en Español band formed by former Caifanes lead singer Saúl Hernández, after that band's break-up in 1995, because of personal differences. He started the band along with former Caifanes co-member Alfonso André (drums); and two long time friends Federico Fong (bass guitar) and José Manuel Aguilera (lead guitar).

Soon after the release of their first album, El Equilibrio de los Jaguares, José Manuel dropped out of the band and Federico Fong took a break from the band, relatedly, as well. Saúl and Alfonso looked for a person who could replace José Manuel. After a period of time, Saúl found the perfect replacement, César López Garcia, most famously known as "El Vampiro" (During Saúl's time in Caifanes he once called "El Vampiro" to invite him to Caifanes, but his invitation was declined, because "El Vampiro" felt in a good position; He was in Azul Violeta during this time. He was also a member of Mana from 1991-1994.) The look for a guitarist was over, but the search for a bassist was still remaining. Sabo Romo, the ex-bassist of Caifanes, was invited to join Jaguares and he gladly and happily accepted. Saúl added one more musician to Jaguares, Jarris Margalli; Jarris did keyboards and samplers.

After the release of their second album, Sabo took a break from the band and Jarris was fired from the band, because Saúl and Alfonso didn't need him in the band, since he was only doing small things in songs that were basically, needless. Jaguares got their name from one of Saúl's dreams. He dreamt that he was singing in a jaguar's mouth.
