COMUNA DO IBITIPOCA, LIMA DUARTE

LOCAL WILDLIFE PROLIFERATES

This traditionally designed but luxurious reserve is set within 5000 hectares of Minas Gerais countryside.

Local wildlife proliferates. So make sure you stay at Comuna do Ibitipoca as part of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Brazil, and the expert guides will introduce you to some rare and decidedly exotic animals.

Jaguars, puma and ocelots, for example. Wild boar, deer and irara. Recently reintroduced birds like harpy eagles, guan, curassow and macuco. You will embark on journeys of discovery that will take you to cascading cataracts and twinkling pools, passing twisted trees, orchids, catkin and bromeliads along the way.

And after a full day of exploration and wonder, you’ll return to a place that looks as natural a part of the diverse landscape as – say – a manaca da serra tree. The reserve features original houses plus Engenho’s Farm with its luxury suites, spa, sauna, superb restaurant…
