Bocaina Cure Tour

São José Agroforestry Ranch

São José Ranch is in the middle of the Serra da Bocaina Mountain Range, in Paraty. Mr. José Ferreira, farmer, son of a native healer and man of great knowledge, develops an agroforestry system of cultivation in his lands.

The tour begins in the Sertão do Taquari (Backlands of Taquari), with an approximately one-hour trek to the ranch. The trek along the waterfall, surrounded by the forest, triggers a cleansing and detoxification process in each one of us.

The experience in the ranch is rich in peace and simplicity – waterfall baths, harvesting of food for dinner, interaction in agroecological activities or processing of goods, natural meals slowly prepared with firewood, conversations filled with Mr. Zé’s wisdom while we drink a herbal tea from the forest, moments of silence to feel the force of Bocaina’s nature.

The next day, we move through lighter paths, with broadened horizons and a glimpse that another life is truly possible.

Duration: 8 hours.

Note:

The meals are all vegetarian.
The interaction in the activities of the ranch will depend on the season.
There are products produced in the ranch – various flours, jams, preserves. Take cash if you want to buy some item.

Ilha Grande a Vela

A pesca guarda grandes significados simbólicos e culturais para os povos da costa. A relação do homem com o mar é fortificada e renovada por essa prática que exige conhecimento íntimo das dinâmicas das águas, dos ventos e dos seres marinhos.

The man and the sea

This experience aims to provide an interaction with the marine environment for those not used to diving. The beauty of the beaches, islands and forests of the Bay of Ilha Grande stand out. But few can know the extraordinary world that exists inside the sea - fish, sponges, echinoderms, anthozoans amidst great rocks, caves, slabs and parcels.

Under the big waters

To get to know Ilha Grande's experience, we visit the Bananal Cove farms and Ranch Forte farms and share some of the daily management of the cultivation and breeding. Then, we set off for tasting the food. We still set some time aside for beach and diving.
