To increase your overall educational opportunities, the ECOEXPLORER management carefully selects only highly qualified local naturalists and outdoors people. Our guides are compassionate, knowledgeable, and experienced naturalists. They provide information on birds, natural history, botany, animal behavior, and conservation in general. All guides employed by the company or contracted through associates are qualified and accredited in their particular area. Furthermore, all of them are first-aid trained. We can also arrange qualified staff for special interests. We have guides fluent in English, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Japanese, Hebrew, Italian, and Portuguese.

Our multilingual guides lead each expedition from operational bases in Cuiabá in the north Pantanal and Campo Grande in the south Pantanal. Guides bring along all the equipment necessary for an ideal expedition including binoculars, telescope, spotlights for night viewing and the appropriate bird, mammal, and reptile field guides. In addition, we offer each of our participants a personal checklist featuring the local Brazilian, common English and Latin names for the wildlife encountered during the trip. We intend to help participants not only enjoy and keep track of all they see, but also to become more fully informed about the animals and their behavior.
