The Guest Ranch
The present day Laranjal Guest Ranch, owned and operated by a Brazilian-American family, combines much of the past with modern day comforts.
While we don't offer structured English instruction, we can help you with pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. You will develop your ear for English and gain fluency after a few days with us.
Our guest limit is eight adults. Accommodations are the main house and each room has a private bath. Very small groups allow everybody's preferences to be satisfied. |
| The Working Ranch
Here you will find a real working ranch and coffee farm.
We raise Lusitano horses, Nelore/Simenthal cattle, Sheep and a few milk Goats. Our mainstays are coffee farming (40,000 trees) and hay production.
The Guest Ranch is a small but fun part of our operation. |
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 many alternative activities. You may fish, swim or kayak in the clear emerald water.
| Horseback riding
We 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.

Adventure
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 Tourism
If 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. |
 |
| Meals
You don't have to be always "up and at 'em". Meals will be an important part of your stay here. We serve family style in the dining room and it's always a good time for lots of conversation.
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. |
 |
Relaxation
We like relaxing on the varanda and getting to know our guests. We serve local beer and wine and make you caipirinhas.
And while we're all sitting around relaxing we can help you get acquainted with
the lifestyle of this part of Brazil. There will be plenty of time for conversation an lots of things to talk about..
|
| Traveling
If you are traveling in Brazil, spend a few days off the beaten track here with us and get to know the non-touristy side of the country. We are flexible and short-stayers and last-minute guests are welcome.
We are on the way between Rio or Sao Paulo and the Iguassu Falls or Pantanal. We are driving distance from the spectacular caves of the Alto do Ribeira National Park ín the Atlantic Rainforest. |
| Kids Love it Here
They 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 always want to 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. |
