Reserva do Ibitipoca

The project of Reserva do Ibitipoca first came up in 1981, with the acquisition of Engenho’s Farm. The main goal was – and still is – to create spaces that would allow the development of wildlife, all connected to Ibitipoca State Park, a forest unit of about 2.500 acres. The hotel was only built almost 30 years later, in 2009. The idea of opening the space to tourists came from the desire of sharing the exhilarating local nature with people passionate about ecotourism, thus offering a unique and exclusive experience.

When you explore our reserve that stretches across more than 4 thousand hectares of land, you will encounter a great diversity of landscapes, attractions and emotions. Altogether there are about 200km of trails that hide amazing discoveries. You can explore the reserve on foot, bike, horseback, or with a 4×4 vehicle. Every corner contains a surprising detail.
