The Guest Ranch |
Enjoy the gracious lifestyle of Brazil's rural past. Vacation here in a comfortable old Coffee Plantation House.You will be accommodated with
us in the original plantation house, a sprawling structure
built in the early 1940's of local stone and brick. The present day Laranjal Guest Ranch, owned and operated by a Brazilian-American family, combines much of the past with modern day comforts.

The Working RanchHere you will find a real working ranch and coffee farm. We raise Brahman cattle, horses, sheep and a some milk goats. |

The Paranapanema River
We are privileged to be located in a very lovely region of the state of Parana
and on the banks of the beautiful and unpolluted Paranapanema River.
The river provides an alternative to riding. You may fish, swim or kayak in the clear emerald water.
Horseback ridingWe take full advantage of our location and offer scenic horseback rides along the rural dirt roads that connect one farm to another. During these leisurely rides we visit local historical attractions and observe wildlife and plantations of coffee, sugarcane, soybeans, and green pastures full of white Brahman cattle.

AdventureSpending time on a ranch in South America is not your run of the mill vacation. Everything is different from back home, the language, the food, the culture, the climate. Here you may ride a frisky horse, rope a cow, kayak in the river or climb the waterfall. We welcome your help if you'd like to make yourself useful. We can always use extra hands for vaccinating, tagging and driving the animals. If loading hay or driving a tractor is your thing, we're game. |
 |
Eco TourismIf you want to explore the woods looking for orchids, bromeliads, lizards or other wildlife, we have miles of forest full of rocks and streams and waterfalls to get lost in. You can follow our trails or take off on your own... We have created here on the farm a small private nature reserve and will be working to improve it planting missing native species, trying to restore a small part of the Atlantic Rainforest. |

Brazilian FoodYou don't have to be always "up and at 'em". We will feed you great Brazilian meals like feijoada and churrasco. We have an organic vegetable garden for the freshest vegetables and manioc. We produce our own milk and eggs and we like to try our hand at homemade jams, cheese and preserves. We have our own beekeeping operation to produce honey. We serve free range chicken and turkey and always have our own lamb on the menu. We serve a Brazilian dessert with every home cooked meal. |
 |
RelaxationWe like relaxing on the varanda and getting to know our guests. We serve local beer and wine and make you caipirinhas for the real Brazilian experience. If you speak some Portuguese you can practice here. We are native English speakers and are bilingual but most of the staff speaks only Portuguese so you'll have plenty of chance to see if you can communicate. If you don't speak at all it won't be a handicap because we'll always be available if you need us. And while we're all sitting around relaxing we can help you get acquainted with the real lifestyle of this part of the world. We will play Brazilian music for you and we can talk politics and tell you about coffee harvests and what's up in Brazilian agriculture and social changes and help you go back home with some real knowledge about what life in Brazil is all about. |

Kids Love it HereThey experience the natural world in a natural way. The chickens and turkeys lay eggs. Eggs hatch! Milk comes from a cow not a jug. They can even help milk the cows. Baby lambs or goats are always around and often drink from bottles. We have ponies to ride, small friendly donkeys too, and a pony cart. Older kids can ride the big horses if they like and go kayaking in the river, exploring in the woods, and fishing in the ponds. Share a week here with your kids. It's a vacation they will always remember. |
