Fazenda Anacã and three partner properties — Fazenda Rancho Novo, Fazenda Bom Jesus and Chácara Esteio. Each has its own landscapes and habitats, widening the possibilities over a stay. All itineraries are organised by Anacã, with guide and transfers arranged to fit the plan.
Our approach
At Fazenda Anacã, the 17.08-hectare reserve is the permanently protected core of a wider set of natural areas — Legal Reserve, riparian areas, ecological corridors and restoration areas. Wildlife moves across this whole mosaic, inside and outside the reserve’s boundaries. About the reserve
On every outing we respect the animals' behaviour and space, and avoid any disturbance that could cause stress or change what they are doing. Because these are free-living animals in the wild, encounters depend on conditions, the time of year and, of course, the animals themselves.
Sightings depend on conditions, season and animal behaviour. No sighting can be guaranteed.
Your itinerary
Shaped by your time, interests and priorities. Areas can be combined or revisited.
Over ten years getting to know the areas, their wildlife, the best spots and the best times.
More time in the field means more encounters, second chances and good photographs.
These experiences are available exclusively to guests staying at Fazenda Anacã.
