Ibiti Journal: What's new in the mountains this spring | summer 2025/2026
The Ibiti Journal is getting another edition, made to be enjoyed preferably next to a good cup of coffee, in a hammock or in the middle of nature. The big news this time is that Ibiti Journal No. 4 is also printed in English, in addition to the Portuguese version, guaranteeing the complete experience for foreigners visiting Ibiti and for those accompanying us from other continents. Large-scale regeneration Among the highlights of this issue is the full article on what Bioflore researchers have found through satellite monitoring: Ibiti has already regenerated more than a thousand hectares of native forest. The study, commissioned by Ibiti, proves, in data and images, what the eyes of the community already saw: where there used to be pasture, there is now forest and a new model of a possible future. International voices English traveler Henry Cookson answered our questions from the other side of the world, explaining why he wants to build a house in Ibiti. World-renowned scientist Marcelo Gleiser talks about spirituality and nature over breakfast at Yucca, after spending five days immersed in the project with his family. Local voices Directly from Mogol, Dona Nair enchants those who stop to listen to her stories with a unique accent that won over Joaquim Monteiro, a member of the Ibiti Council and author of the article on Serendipity Curious? Open the Journal at the link below to read it! We also visited some of the families who left the Engenho to find out how they live today, and had a good time reminiscing with Seu Benjamin, Seu Artur, Darinho and Celeste! From the Engenho's kitchen, Dona Odette reveals some of her secrets for preparing the traditional canjiquinha. Juninho, a guide and photographer, tells his stories about learning English in the United States. Natural art: banana mandalas And to top it all off, this issue is illustrated with banana mandalas. Have you ever heard of them? The idea came about during an unexpected meeting in the Ibiti Village cafeteria. The intention was to have mandalas made by the Life School children illustrating the newspaper, and the project came to life when the couple Isabela and Luiz Adolpho, parents of little Elis, got together to create the banana tree mandala workshop.Go and see how it's done, we'll teach you too. And that's it: lots of meditation on the mantras of Minas Gerais: ommmmmmm uaaaaaai sôôôôôô...

SP-Ibiti air bridge: Nature closer to you!
Chegar ao Ibiti nunca foi tão fácil — e tão encantador. Agora, um voo regular SP-Ibiti conecta São Paulo ao Ibiti Projeto em apenas 1h20, encurtando distâncias e aproximando o hóspede de uma das experiências mais singulares do Brasil. Graças a uma parceria inédita com a Flapper, referência em aviação executiva, os fins de semana ganham uma nova possibilidade: decolar de Campo de Marte na sexta-feira à tarde e, poucas horas depois, já estar imerso nas trilhas, cachoeiras e sabores que fazem do Ibiti Projeto um destino único no mundo. “Mais do que encurtar distâncias, esse projeto representa um marco na consolidação do Ibiti como destino de referência em hospitalidade sustentável, regeneração e cultura. Queremos que o acesso seja tão especial quanto a experiência que aguarda cada hóspede aqui”, afirma Hugo Cambraia, CEO do Ibiti. Conforto no ar, liberdade na terra A rota é operada em uma Caravan Grand, aeronave segura e confortável para até nove passageiros, com bagageiro amplo para bicicletas, instrumentos musicais ou malas de quem vem para viver dias intensos de natureza e bem-estar. Graças a essa nova ponte aérea, os fins de semana ganham uma nova possibilidade: decolar de Campo de Marte na sexta-feira à tarde e, pouco mais de 1 hora depois, já estar imerso nas trilhas, cachoeiras e sabores que fazem do Ibiti Projeto um destino único no mundo. Além disso, hóspedes do Ibiti Projeto que optarem pela estadia de domingo a quinta-feira contam com tarifas especiais em trechos de reposicionamento, a partir de R$ 750 por perna. Experiências exclusivas Com a ponte aérea no mesmo fim de semana, é possível: – Saborear um jantar à luz de velas– Assistir a concertos de piano,– Pedalar pelos mais de 300 km de trilhas– Desfrutar de terapias e spa– Observar o céu, o Sol, a Lua e as estrelas– Mergulhar em cachoeiras cristalinas Tudo isso em um território de conservação e regeneração de cerca de seis mil hectares, que une natureza, arte, filosofia e hospitalidade mineira. A pista que nasceu de um sonho Recém-reformado, o Aeródromo Carolina de Assis (SJXM), que agora conta com pavimento em asfalto, pátio ampliado e operação compatível com aeronaves executivas como Caravan, King Air e Pilatus. Localizada a 1.100 metros de altitude, a pista tem 860 metros de comprimento e 15 metros de largura, inclinação de 8º e pátio com capacidade para até 4 aeronaves. O sonho da pista nasceu com Carlinhos Repetto, fundador do Ibiti Projeto, inspirado em aeroportos de montanha como Courchevel. Em terreno desafiador, ele viabilizou, na primeira década dos anos 2000, a construção em uma clareira no meio da floresta, sem precisar cortar uma única árvore. O aeródromo recebeu o nome de sua mãe, Carolina de Assis Repetto (1920–2025). Primeira mulher a conquistar o brevê de aviadora em Minas Gerais, em 1939, Dona Lilina, como era conhecida, desafiou padrões da época com ousadia e coragem. Pilotava acrobacias aéreas com seu avião PP-GAN, representava Minas em competições e ainda se destacou como arquiteta autodidata e matriarca de uma grande família. Carolina faleceu em fevereiro de 2025, aos 104 anos. Celebração A inauguração oficial, no dia 18 de setembro, reuniu autoridades, parceiros e amigos do Ibiti Projeto, marcando o início de uma nova etapa para o turismo sustentável no Ibiti Projeto. Combate a incêndios A pista não só encurta a distância entre São Paulo e o Ibiti Projeto, como também é um ponto estratégico de apoio para o combate a incêndios na região. Em 2021, durante um incêndio no parque, a operação só foi contornada com o auxílio de aeronaves contratadas pelo Ibiti Projeto, que utilizaram o então aeródromo de grama como base. Com a reforma e o asfaltamento, a pista agora oferece infraestrutura ainda mais segura e eficiente para apoiar ações de emergência, além de permitir o voo exclusivo de hóspedes.

Ibiti 35 years magazine
Read the first Ibiti Magazine, launched in 2017, when Ibiti Projeto was known as Reserva do Ibitipoca In 2017, we launched Ibiti 35 years to show that we were much more than just a cool pousada. At the time, we were known as Reserva do Ibitipoca and what attracted people most were the gigantic statues created by Karen Cusolito. They really are fabulous and, in the magazine, we tell you how they got to Pedra do Tatu. But our story is full of other interesting facts and actions. In particular, the persistent work to protect the muriqui, the protagonist of a detailed article. In this first edition of the magazine Ibiti 35 years, the reader takes a stroll through the forests, observes birds, learns about our socio-environmental actions and meets entrepreneurs and part of our team. The magazine has been carefully written and edited by journalist Raquel Ribeiro and designed by Jean Pierre Verdaguer. It is available in Portuguese and English.
