Discover Ibiti and experience nature like you've never imagined

January 7th, 2026

On the edge of the Ibitipoca State Park in Minas Gerais, there is a place that is not just a destination for regenerative tourism with luxury lodges. Ibiti is a 6,000-hectare socio-environmental project that brings together regeneration of the Atlantic Forest, This is a great way to experience, exclusive sensory experiences, art, science and our own way of living and celebrating, in the time of nature.

Here, former grazing areas have given way to living forests. And each experience stems from the same question: how can we live better, with less impact and more meaning?

Art that touches the sky

High up in the mountains, monumental sculptures created for the Burning Man Festival in California take on a new life in dialog with the landscape of Minas Gerais. The setting is ideal for sky watching, intimate programs such as meditation and sound healing, bike or horseback riding, picnics with groups of friends and family or even celebrating a special date in total privacy.

Local cuisine

With more than 100 varieties of organic food grown by the Ibiti Gaia Within its own territory, Ibiti practices the concept of garden to table on a daily basis. What arrives on the plate is grown there, respecting the soil, the weather and those who produce it.

Music in the village

At dusk, a 19th century piano echoes in the Gaia Café, in a small mining town called Mogol. There's no rush. No excess. Just music, scenery and the rare sensation that time has stopped so you can listen.

Muriquis: science, courage and hope

Ibiti is home to one of the most important projects in the world for the conservation of muriquis, which are the largest primates in the Americas and are critically endangered. This is an unprecedented effort that combines science, cutting-edge research, care and long-term commitment.

The Ibiti jeitim of being

We often say that Ibiti is almost a country, with its own way of being, thinking and speaking. Here, Portuguese and English mix with an accent full of mineirice. Classical philosophy coexists with community knowledge. Entrepreneurship goes hand in hand with local traditions. At Ibiti, we learn from the past, celebrate the present and reimagine the future.
