Ecoexplorer
Expeditions was founded in 1992 by a group of environmentally
conscious Brazilian tour guides with the aim of providing/promoting
ecologically sensitive tours in the Amazon and Pantanal regions
of Brazil.
We have spent years
as tour guides for local and international tour operators
specializing in nature tours, bird watching expeditions, and
ecotourism expeditions in the Amazon and Pantanal ecosystems.
Ecoexplorer is now able to offer a variety of Amazon tours
and cruises and Pantanal lodge and camping safaris for nature
enthusiasts.
The company is based
in Cuiabá, capital of Mato Grosso state, and maintains
operational offices in Campo Grande, in the southern Pantanal,
and in Porto Velho and Alta Floresta in the Amazon region,
to handle our own services there. Ecoexplorer offers a variety
of ecotours in the Amazon and Pantanal regions of Brazil,
including bird watching tours, photo safaris, expeditions
cruises, nature tours, wildlife tours, jungle expeditions,
lodge safaris, and camping adventures, all tailored to those
seeking a more active and respectful adventure in the outdoors.
Most of our expeditions
take you to remote destinations, away from the usual routes.
Our tour sizes are deliberately kept to a minimum (2 - 8 members)
to ensure maximum exposure to the local wildlife and culture.
A small group also allows guests to spend more time with their
guides, which enriches the overall experience.
Each of our eco-adventures
is led by the most experienced and knowledgeable local guides.
These individuals are experts on the local flora and fauna
and they are also environmentally conscious. Guides speak
English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese.
As supporters of
authentic ecotourism, we contribute a portion of trip proceeds
to Amazon and Pantanal community projects. We also make every
effort to follow a responsible code of ecotourism to minimize
any detrimental impact on the environment and local culture.
We are not a booking agent providing clients to subcontractors,
and we have managed to avoid expensive advertising and unnecessary
middlemen. This allows us to offer ecotourism at reasonable
prices to our clients.
None of our tours
at Ecoexplorer are alike. We have a general region we like
to share, but our tours are personal and flexible. We take
into consideration the changing seasons and the daily weather
conditions of the region to be explored. We also create itineraries
to cater to the individual or special interest and requirements
of specific groups.
Our aim is to provide
you with the ultimate Amazon and Pantanal adventure. We ensure
that most of your time is spent in the wilderness, enjoying
the wildlife and what it has to offer.
WHY
CHOOSE ECOEXPLORER TOURS OVER OTHER OUTFITTERS?
• We have over 20 years of experience in both ecosystems.
We live here. We know the area intimately.
• Group
size - We specialize in small group expeditions ranging
from two to eight people. This allows personalized service,
increased trip flexibility, and minimal environmental impact.
A small group also allows guests to spend more time with their
guides, which enriches the experience.
• Highly
skilled guides - We offer the best local guides at
each destination. They are notable for their knowledge, experience
level, and affability. These guides are selected for their
commitment to various social or environmental projects within
their communities. As owners, we personally lead every tour
to ensure a high quality experience. We hire local guides
based on their knowledge, level of professionalism, and dedication
to sustainable tourism.
• Off
the beaten path - Most of our adventures go to various
Amazon and Pantanal destinations that are remote and off the
beaten path. On these expeditions, you truly get away from
the crowds rather than traveling with them. The majority of
your time is spent in the wilderness enjoying the wildlife
and what it has to offer.
• We
help preserve the environment - As an ecotour operator,
we contribute a portion of the proceeds to local conservation
and research projects. We strongly support sustainable and
ecologically responsible conservation projects, as well as
educational, humanitarian, and community development initiatives
in the Amazon. Ecoexplorer supports and encourages these projects
with our time, expertise, and/or finances when we’re
not guiding trips.
• Sense
of adventure - Come prepared to have the adventure
of a lifetime! Your willingness to try new things goes a long
way. We provide the knowledge, equipment, and logistical know-how;
you provide the desire to learn and experience life to its
fullest.
Whether you travel with us, with someone else, or on your
own, please tread lightly and with respect.
Thank you for your interest in our homeland. We look forward
to sharing with you the natural wonders of the Amazon and
Pantanal ecosystems.
