Puma encounter at the Embiara Lodge

A few weeks ago our friend and colleague, Stefan Grol of the Embiara Lodge was very fortunate, when during a stroll in the lodge's surroundings, he witnessed the elusive puma. The area around Embiara Lodge is bursting with wildlife, such as giant anteaters, giant otters, tapirs, macaws and even jaguars. While there are pumas, they are difficult to see as they are very shy of humans. They are more active at night, so Stefan could not believe his eyes and ears whenhe witnessed this adult female puma chase down and kill an adult male capybara in the lake beside the lodge.

Ecotents in Chapada dos Veadeiros

Here, at one of the last “undiscovered” natural paradise, where crystal clear water springs and sparkles up from the earth everywhere, you´ll find your internal peace and equilibrium again. Come and dive into the wonderful waters of countless waterfalls, canyons and rivers of the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park and surrounding region. 
Ecotents offers a huge list of activities: riding in the infinite Brazilian savanna with our trusty mules (extremules), observing rare animals and birdwatching, 4x4 safari, hiking and mountain biking, campfires, photography, expeditions to other regions, and much more.

Alto was a stunning success - holiday memories for us to treasure for 
the rest of our lives.  It was a stunning experience wild type as 
well as hospitality and friendly atmosphere.  Al the transfers to and 
from Campo Grande worked beautifully.

Many thanks for your help
