NEX – Jaguar & Puma Sanctuary

Button

The Instituto de Preservação e Defesa de Felídeos da Fauna Silvestre do Brasil em Processo de Extinção (NEX) is a non-governmental organization that is caring for native Brazilian jaguars and pumas that were rescued from the wild and/or animal trafficking. They are running a sanctuary near Corumbá, located about 80 km from Brasilia and it is open for visitors on weekends.

PLEASE NOTE THAT TOURS MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE.

NEX was founded in 2001 with the aim to create a safe sanctuary for jaguars and pumas that were injured in the wild and rescued from animal trafficking. As a non-governmental organization it relies solely on donations from the public and the generosity from the weekend visitors.

Now a visit to the refuge is not like you are visiting a zoo. It starts at 9:30 with a healthy breakfast, after that you will learn about the individual history of each jaguar and puma as well as a tour through the sanctuary. You will learn about the work involved in keeping these magnificent animals in a natural habitat as much as possible.

Lunch is served at a waterfall nearby and you can have a swim as well. In the afternoon you will be part of the feeding of the jaguars and pumas and all is capped off with afternoon coffee.

The fee for the day is R$200 per person (Children under 10 R$100) and includes all activities and meals. And all profits will be spent on the upkeep of the sanctuary and feeding the animals. So you will not only have a unforgettable day with these magnificent creatures, but you will also support this great organization so it can operate for years to come.

If you want a day trip outside the city, Billy does really great tours to Cristalina, Pirenopolis, etc. I went on a Cristalina small group tour with him and it was really fun. My son is still talking about it two years later.

One of the best Açaís I've ever tried!

Super affordable, with generous portions. My favorite is the one mixed with cupuaçu sorbet 😍
The place is very charming and peaceful. They offer a range of delicious typical food and the owner is super friendly.

I recommend this product.

Cristina has a natural ability to engage with children of all ages. With her previous profession employment as a teacher, and having two adult children of her own, she is well placed to take responsibility for any children in her care. Speaking fluent Portuguese and English, your children will be in safe hands and also receive the benefits of improving their language abilities.

I came here to write a post about Billy and I see there already is one! So I'll just add my experience. When I was brand-new to Brasilia I did a group tour of Brasilia. This is a really great tour - you'll learn not only the layout of the city and the history of why it's been done that way, but also get to see all the big monuments and best architecture. I would really recommend this tour if you have family or friends visiting. You'll learn so much about the city, and your guests will feel like they actually know the city.

I recommend this product.

Moving is often a stressful and daunting task, but AAA Moving & Relocations LLC made it a breeze!
The team was fantastic - they were professional, efficient, friendly and patient! They took great care in packing and securing all of my belongings, and even went above and beyond to collect a few items that I had forgotten.
Paulo Woolny, the owner of the company, was also incredibly helpful throughout the process. He provided transparent and accurate quotes upfront, so there were no surprises when it came to the cost of my move. He also kept me informed every step of the way, which really put my mind at ease. He is always willing to please you if he can and if something is under his control.
When my removal reached Italy, their Italian counterparts were just as efficient and careful. All my belongings arrived in time and in perfect condition, which was great.
Overall, I cannot recommend AAA Moving & Relocations LLC highly enough. They truly are experts in their field, and they made what could have been a very stressful experience into a pleasant and easy one. If you're looking for a moving company that cares about your belongings and your peace of mind, look no further than AAA Moving & Relocations LLC. You shall not be disappointed!
