The Miranda Ranch was founded in 1912 as a traditional cattle growth farm. Property of English investors and with a rich history, the farm was dedicated to livestock activity for over seventy years and is mostly still conserved.

The year 1985 would bring the start of a personal project from the owner that would lead to the creation of the Caiman Ecological Refuge. The goal was to conserve the richness of the landscape that he had the pleasure of frequenting all his life and provide for more people to have the opportunity to enjoy the best of the Pantanal through the development of the region as a tourist destination.

Currently, the ranch is focused on raising cattle. The animals are integrated with nature by means of organic meadow fields and grazing pastures.
