The harpy eagle
The harpy eagle is the largest and most powerful eagle in the Americas. Seeing one in the wild is rare: it lives in tall forests and builds its nest at the top of the biggest trees.
Near the lodge there is a harpy eagle nest, visited with a guide and with care not to disturb the birds
Each night of stay includes a 3-hour visit to the nest, in the morning or the afternoon
Depending on the season, you may see the chick in the nest
Extra visits to the nest can be arranged
The Cerrado
The Cerrado is Brazil's second-largest biome and the most biodiverse savanna in the world. Grasslands, woodlands, rock walls and mountain ridges make up a landscape of wide horizons, and many of the waters that flow into the Pantanal are born here.
Home of the maned wolf, the giant anteater, macaws, toucans and hundreds of other birds
The lodge's own trail through native vegetation
Sunsets with the mountains behind, even more beautiful in the dry season (May to September)
