Fazenda Esperança Excursion

Get in touch with the more rural side of Brazil on this excursion to Fazenda da Esperança. We'll visit a farm founded in 1842 and check out the regional flora and fauna.

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 on the outskirts of Monte Verde, Fazenda da Esperança offers opportunities to explore the typical flora and fauna of Minas Gerais. At the farm, we'll learn about traditional activities linked to rural life.

Upon arrival, we will commence a guided tour of the farm's facilities. The history of the fazenda dates back to 1842, run by the same family for five generations.

During the tour, we will observe a variety of birds and, with some luck, spot anteaters, deer, and maned wolves. Information about the animals will be provided.

Additionally, we'll learn about the process of making dulce de leche on the farm and have the chance to taste it. For those interested in regional gastronomy, you can visit the Fazenda Esperança restaurant for lunch. 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.

Pickup
