The Fazenda Baia das Pedras was built in 1940 by the couple José Coelho Lima and Cyra, who established working with the cattle. In 2003 the house was reformed, without losing the original style. The Fazenda is located on the shores of Vazante do Castelo, in the Pantanal of Nhecolândia. The good hospitality and the pantaneira culinary are still a tradition at the Fazenda where the visitors can also deal with the cattle and get to know a little more about the culture of the Pantaneiro men.

The access to the Fazenda is done by one engine plane all year round leaving from Campo Grande (one hour flight). The transfer can also be done by pick-up 4x4 during the dry season (from May to November).

The hotel fazenda offers 03 triple and 02 double apartments all equipped with private bathroom, air conditioning and fan.

Excursions offered by the lodge include:
Horse back riding – Pantaneiro horses, raised at the lodge, are excellent for touring the surrounding forests and streams. This area has the biggest concentration of trees. As a result, lots of animals can find shelter and food here. You can also follow the cowboys as they do their daily work and witness their expert roping and handling of cattle.
Canoeing - The Fazenda has handicraft canoes made up of “ximbuva” wood (Enterolobium contortisiliqum) by people from Corumbá, South Mato Grosso. The piranha fishing tours are on Guanandy bay, Baía das Pedras bay and drain of Castelo. Birds, caimans and mammals go frequently to the bays mainly in the early hours of the day and sunset.
Trekking – Paths take visitors to special places like the macaw’s landing area. There are paths that lead to special places-some are perfect for watching the sunset.
Spotlighting – A spotlight tour is done at night, in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Using a large spotlight, the caimans and other night animals can be seen. It is a special way to watch and listen to the sounds of the Pantanal.
Photographic Safari – This activity combines two activities: photography and observation of animals and flora. You’ll tour around the fields on a four wheel drive vehicle.
