About
Created to serve those seeking for exclusivity through personalized experiences, Paziguá is a proudly Mato Grosso do Sul based tourism operator, headquartered in Campo Grande, which, through a unique format of tailored private expeditions, works to fulfill your dream of discovering the Pantanal and creating an authentic and incomparable experience.
At the very core of its origin, Paziguá is the realization of the founder Mariana’s desire to enable the true Pantanal spirit to be experienced, just as she did during her childhood alongside her grandfather, Edmur.
The company’s name is derived from the word ‘Apaziguar’ (to soothe), as the Pantanal has an unmatched ability to inspire a profound sense of peace in its visitors. However, considering the regional dialect, the initial ‘a’ and the final ‘r’ are omitted, resulting in the pronunciation ‘Paziguá’.
Believing in the global potential of Pantanal tourism, Paziguá aims to attract more and more Brazilian visitors, aiming to enhance domestic appreciation for this national treasure. Additionally, by breaking down language barriers, it strives to make the Pantanal more welcoming and accessible to foreigners, always remembering the importance of making everyone feel welcome in this natural sanctuary.
As taught by the elders to younger generations, Paziguá is founded on the belief of a respectful relationship between man and nature, in order to preserve the Pantanal way of life and show its richness to the world.
