This farm shows us that we are able to produce crops and cattle in harmony with the nativeflora and wildlife.
The visitor will see a working farm. 1500 heads of cattle are fattened on feed lots. The cattle are the result of cross breeding and use of~the most recent technologies in adaptation of breeds ideal for climatic conditions in the Pantanal.
The San Francisco Complex is 36 Km after the city of Miranda in the federal road that joins Brazil to Bolivia. The farm is located on the left margin of the Miranda River. Opportunities for fishing the rapids, diving and underwater photography are within easy access.
In a day at San Francisco Complex, you will enjoy a trip through irrigated fields on a sightseeing vehicle from which you will see the many birds that enjoy the seeds, insects and fish. There are 9 varieties of hawks alone, as well as cranes, egrets,storks, etc... There are over 350 different species of birds. Deer,
capybaras, ant eaters, ostrich, monkeys, wild pigs, boa constrictors and alligators may beglimpsed on this ride.
There are opportunities for fishing if desired. The region boasts the dourado game,fish, pintado, surubim, jau and pacu. The piranha dominates the waters and is greatfun to catch as it is so voracious.
