Our story
Fazenda Anacã is a family property in Alta Floresta, in the Amazon of Mato Grosso, where cattle ranching sits alongside forest, springs, a buriti-lined reservoir and a private reserve.
Family hospitality
With just six rooms, Anacã offers an intimate stay where every visit can find its own rhythm. The kitchen is part of the experience, and hospitality comes from the people who live here.
Anacã is also the Portuguese name of an Amazon parrot, the red-fan parrot (Deroptyus accipitrinus), one of the species that can be seen on the farm.

Anacã's wildlife experiences are the result of more than a decade of building and refining them in the field, guided by accumulated knowledge of the areas, species, best spots and best times.
