Fazenda Esperança Excursion

At 10 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Monte Verde. From there, we'll hop in a 4x4 vehicle and head north to Fazenda da Esperança, a more than 100-year-old farm about an hour away.

Located in Jaguary de Cima, Fazenda da Esperança is an ideal place to explore the typical flora and fauna of the state of Minas Gerais. At the farm, we'll learn about traditional activities linked to life in the countryside.

Upon arrival, we'll start a guided tour of the farm's facilities. We'll learn about its history dating back to 1842 and the family that has been operating it for five generations.

During the tour, we may see various birds and potentially anteaters, deer, and maned wolves. Curiosities about the animals will be shared.

We will also learn about the process of making dulce de leche, with a tasting included. For further regional gastronomy, visit the Fazenda Esperança restaurant for lunch on your own.

After two hours at the farm, we will conclude the tour at 2 pm and drop you off at your hotel in Monte Verde.

Temporary changes

Until further notice, access to the dulce de leche production area is suspended.
