Taking adavantage of the knowhow accumulated in the same region (the old Miranda Estancia ranch) and sharing its operational territory with activities such as ecotourism and scientific researches, Estancia Caiman handles more than 20 thousand cattle in its property.

The Caiman Lodge and Ecotourism

In these almost 20 years of existence, ecotourism has specially helped Caiman Ecological Refuge and the Pantanal as a whole, to find within this activity, yet another option to conserve the Pantanal and, at the same time, provide its development. Caiman Ecological Refuge is comprised by three independent lodges within the ranch. The lodges differ in their architectonic characteristics with the purpose to blend with the nature that surrounds them. All were built with identical charm, sophistication and comfort.

Cordilheira Lodge

Located 13 km from the SEDE, it was built with bricks and mounted on stilts,. Located at the margins of a Cordilheira forest, perfectly integrated with the surrounding natural scene. It has 08 guestrooms.
