OUR IMPACT
Icterus Ecoturismo stands out for its positive social and environmental impact on multiple fronts. Besides promoting sustainable tourism in the Pantanal, the company adopts an inclusive approach and is the first tourism company in the Pantanal with an international LGBT+ tourism seal. It works in partnership with Pantanal communities, providing economic opportunities for female entrepreneurs, such as those preparing meals for bird-watching tours in the APA Baía Negra area. Furthermore, Icterus engages in significant socio-environmental work with local artisans, introducing them to and encouraging their participation in bird-watching tourism. These artisans are creating pieces inspired by the local biodiversity to cater to this emerging market, thus promoting the sustainable economic development of the region. The owners, both biologists specialized in wildlife, ensure respect for biodiversity and environmental sustainability.

Icterus also commits to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), ensuring its services are accessible to all travelers, regardless of their background, gender identity, or physical abilities. Recognizing the importance of ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the wonders of the Pantanal, the company offers options tailored for seniors and individuals with mobility issues. From selecting accessible locations to providing adequate resources and support, Icterus strives to make its travel experiences inclusive and comfortable for all travelers. These efforts not only enrich the travelers' experiences but also contribute to the strengthening of local communities and the conservation of cultural and natural heritage.
