BrazilOf jaguars and unique waterfalls

The natural paradise of the Pantanal—the world's largest inland wetland—is just a short domestic flight away. Your home away from home—the Caiman Ecological Refuge—awaits you in the middle of a 53,000-hectare, species-rich, lush green oasis. Preserving the diverse fauna, flora, and culture of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve is a priority at this eco-friendly hotel. From your luxurious lodge, you can look out over a vast carpet of lakes, rivers, floodplains, and lagoons.

Follow in the footsteps of the king of the Pantanal on a jaguar safari. At sunset, you will have the chance to admire these nocturnal big cats in the wild. You will also encounter other species such as spectacled caimans. Take in the unique landscape with all your senses on a canoe trip on the numerous waterways and observe water birds up close.

The next natural wonder awaits you in the triangle formed by Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Your hotel is the only one in Brazil's Iguazu National Park to offer an unparalleled location, just a short walk from the sensational waterfalls. Enjoy exclusive access to this UNESCO World Heritage Site at any time of day—even when the park is closed to others.

Take a hike through the gorge, where you can enjoy panoramic views of more than 240 waterfalls. A glass elevator takes you to a platform offering breathtaking views of the falls and the most significant remaining rainforest in the southern cone of South America. Experience the flora and fauna firsthand at the bird park and observe endangered bird species up close. You can also explore Iguazu National Park on the Argentine side on footpaths that offer spectacular views of the "Cataratas" amid lush nature with orchids, colorful birds, and other wildlife. Admire the thundering masses of water from the floating platform at the edge of the Devil's Throat, the largest of the waterfalls.
