Private airstrip serving a remote Pantanal wetlands fazenda.
Location
Barão de Melgaço, Brazil
Fazenda São Francisco do Perigara Airstrip (ICAO: SW26) is a small private airstrip located on the Fazenda São Francisco do Perigara, a large ranch situated within the Pantanal wetlands near Barão de Melgaço in Mato Grosso state, Brazil. The airstrip primarily serves the operational needs of the fazenda and its visitors, providing access to an otherwise remote and difficult-to-reach area of one of the world's largest tropical wetlands.
The Fazenda Perigara is particularly notable as an important conservation site for the hyacinth macaw (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus), one of the world's largest parrots and an endangered species. The airstrip enables researchers, conservationists, and ecotourists to access this ecologically significant property without the lengthy overland journey through seasonally flooded terrain.
As a private fazenda airstrip, SW26 has no commercial airline service, terminal infrastructure, or scheduled operations. Access is typically arranged through the property's management for authorized guests and researchers.
Getting to & from
