Our journey began on November 9th with a flight from San Jose to Panama City, departing at 6:30pm. From there, we flew to Sao Paulo, arriving the next morning at 6:45am, before continuing to Campo Grande, landing at 10:05am. After a four hour, 230 km scenic drive, we arrived at Caiman Lodge located in the Pantanal, the world’s largest wetlands.

The lodge is set within a 53,000 hectare property combining livestock, ecotourism, and conservation in harmony. Adjacent to it lies a 17,300 acre private ecological reserve. The name “Caiman” reflects the owner’s commitment to conservation and regional progress.Read more
