Caiman Ecological Refuge

The Caiman Ecological Refuge, established in the late 1980s, is a pioneering ecotourism venture in Brazil's Southern Pantanal region. Spanning approximately 53,000 hectares, this expansive cattle ranch is located about 236 kilometres from Campo Grande, the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul. The Caiman Ecological Refuge integrates cattle ranching, environmental conservation, and ecotourism. This multifaceted approach offers visitors an unparalleled opportunity to experience the natural wonders of the Pantanal while contributing to the preservation of its unique ecosystem.

Conservation Initiatives - Beyond its role in ecotourism, the refuge is deeply committed to environmental research and conservation. It collaborates with various researchers and universities on projects such as the Hyacinth Macaw Project and the Blue-Fronted Parrot Project, aiming to protect and study these native species.

Accommodation Options - The refuge offers three distinct lodges, each providing unique experiences:
  • Main Lodge Complex: As the central hub, this lodge offers comprehensive facilities and services.
  • Baiazinha Lodge: Located approximately 9 kilometres from the main complex, Baiazinha is built over a clear-water bay, offering guests a serene and immersive nature experience.

  • Cordillera Lodge: Situated about 13 kilometres from the main complex, this lodge provides a secluded retreat amidst the natural beauty of the Pantanal.

Activities and Wildlife - Guests at the Caiman Ecological Refuge can engage in a variety of activities designed to showcase the rich biodiversity of the Pantanal:
  • Wildlife Observation: The refuge is home to hundreds of animal species, offering ample opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts.

  • Bird Watching: With a diverse avian population, bird watchers can observe numerous species in their natural habitats.

  • Guided Tours: Knowledgeable guides lead tours that educate visitors about the unique ecosystem of the Pantanal and the refuge's ongoing conservation efforts.
Conservation Projects - The refuge is actively involved in several notable conservation initiatives:
  • Onçafari Project: This project focuses on the habituation and study of jaguars to promote ecotourism and conservation.

  • Hyacinth Macaw Project: This initiative is dedicated to preserving the hyacinth macaw and working to protect and increase the population of this vibrant bird species.

  • Blue-Fronted Parrot Project: This project aims to conserve the blue-fronted parrot by conducting research and taking protective measures to ensure the species' survival.
