Ecotourism and conservation

Caiman Ecological Refuge is the name the current owner came up with to represent Caiman’s initiatives for conservation and regional progress. The refuge is made up of the property where the three principle initiatives are located. The three activities, raising livestock, ecotourism and conservation live in perfect harmony in the same 53,000 hectare area. Caiman joined The Long Run in 2011 and committed to a holistic balance of the 4Cs – Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce – as a means to contribute meaningfully to the biodiversity and the people of their local region.

Caiman Ecological Refuge has different options of lodges, each with its own unique characteristics and operating in total independence from one another. The Casa Caiman, the Baiazinha Lodge and the Cordilheira Lodge are located in different regions, but they all share Caiman’s excellency in ecotourism, hospitality and gastronomical services.
