Chapada dos Guimarães · Mato Grosso · Brazil

A cabin in the forest, built for people who listen to birds

Casa Bambu hides in a small forest 10 minutes from the town of Chapada dos Guimarães. More than 50 bird species have been recorded in the area in just a few hours of observation — and your day here starts with that sound.

Why Casa Bambu

  1. Alone in the forest, no shared walls

    Your own gate, a 200 m drive into the woods, and no other lodging in sight. Real silence — the only noise here is birds, wind and the creek.

  2. Hand-built, with bamboo

    Chris built the cabin in 2023–24: a concrete structure made to last, a bamboo roof made to live under. Not a hotel, not a template — a place with a story.

  3. Birding from the veranda

    Sunrise coffee on the veranda, binoculars in hand. The best hours are 5:30–8:00 — and you're already inside the habitat, no dawn drive needed.

The cabin: simple outside, thought-through inside

A large 5×7 m bedroom, an equipped open kitchen and living room, hot-water shower and 300 Mbps fiber Wi-Fi — remote work genuinely works here. For 2 guests, with a sofa bed for a third.

Chapada is a birding destination in its own right

Red-and-green Macaw, Red-legged Seriema, toucans, motmots — Chapada's Cerrado draws birders from around the world, many en route to the Pantanal. We wrote a site guide with target species, best times and honest tips.

What you should know before coming

Casa Bambu sits inside native forest: insects are part of the deal, wildlife shows up, the final access road is unpaved and we recommend a rental car. It's an authentic, comfortable refuge — not a resort. Guests who arrive knowing this leave in love with it.
