Hellen is the founder of Pantanal & Rainforests Expeditions, and now Wildlife Expeditions of Brazil.

She´s not only one of our main guides (a certified tour leader for the whole South America) , but she`s also operation manager, in charge of all the administration and logistics of our tours. (We develop all of our own trips personally and update them afresh every year.)

Hellen has gained her reputation on receptive tourism, mainly ecotourism - which is her true passion.

A hard working professional, with a great attention for detail and extremely committed to the satisfaction of our clients - always with a smile on her face, for she is a natural people pleaser.

Hellen has lived most of her life in the beautiful National Park of Chapada dos Guimarães, where, as a naturalist, she acquired a good knowledge mainly about the plants of the Cerrado (the Brazilian savannah)

She also lived a few years in hotspots of biodiversity along the Atlantic Rainforest and she loved it! In recent years she has traveled frequently to the Mediterranean region, exploring it and organizing trips there, combining nature with rich historical heritage.     

 Currently she lives in the city of Chapada dos Guimarães, to be near Pantanal – the amazing ecosystem that became the priority of our ecotrips.

She loves everything about nature & traveling (including, of course, international destinations) and even in her spare time she never misses a chance to go out birding and watching wildlife

Born in Diamantino and raised in the heart of the Amazon, in São José do Rio Claro, Marcos Félix has always had a deep connection with nature. Initially working in agriculture, he discovered his true passion in ecotourism and became a professional naturalist guide in Cuiabá over 20 years ago.

Specializing in guiding English-speaking tourists, including American and British visitors, Marcos leads immersive expeditions in the Pantanal, one of the world’s most biodiverse regions. His work focuses on wildlife photography, particularly jaguar conservation, using the beauty of these majestic felines to inspire environmental preservation. Marcos has collaborated with various television crews, including the BBC, helping to showcase the wonders of the Pantanal to global audiences. A passionate birdwatcher and jaguar enthusiast, he spends his days from sunrise to sunset in the wild, sharing knowledge and creating unforgettable experiences for visitors from around the world.

For Marcos, being a naturalist guide is more than just a job—it’s a privilege. Through his work, he not only highlights the incredible biodiversity of the Pantanal but also raises awareness about the importance of conservation.
