SP-Ibiti air bridge: Nature closer to you!
Getting to Ibiti has never been so easy - and so enchanting. Now, a regular SP-Ibiti flight connects São Paulo to Ibiti Projeto in just 1h20, shortening distances and bringing guests closer to one of Brazil's most unique experiences. Thanks to an unprecedented partnership with Flapper, a benchmark in executive aviation, weekends have a new possibility: take off from Campo de Marte on Friday afternoon and, a few hours later, be immersed in the trails, waterfalls and flavors that make Ibiti Projeto a unique destination in the world. "More than just shortening distances, this project represents a milestone in the consolidation of Ibiti as a benchmark destination for sustainable hospitality, regeneration and culture. We want access to be as special as the experience that awaits each guest here," says Hugo Cambraia, Ibiti's CEO. Comfort in the air, freedom on the ground The route is operated in a Caravan Grand, a safe and comfortable aircraft for up to nine passengers, with ample luggage for bicycles, musical instruments or suitcases for those who come to experience intense days of nature and well-being. "The Ibit Project is ready to position itself as one of the favorite destinations for weekend getaways for the public in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Belo Horizonte," says Paul Malicki, CEO of Flapper. "We chose the Caravan Grand because of its safety and luggage capacity, replicating our model of shared flights already consolidated on other routes." In addition, Ibiti Projeto guests who choose to stay from Sunday to Thursday can enjoy special rates on repositioning routes, starting at R$ 750 per leg. Exclusive experiences With the air bridge on the same weekend, it is possible to: - Enjoy a candlelit dinner- Attend piano concerts- Cycle along the more than 300 km of trails- Enjoy therapies and spas- Watch the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars- Dive into crystal-clear waterfalls All this in a conservation and regeneration territory of around six thousand hectares, which unites nature, art, philosophy and Minas Gerais hospitality. The runway that was born of a dream Recently renovated, the Carolina de Assis Aerodrome (SJXM) now has an asphalt sidewalk, an expanded patio and operations compatible with executive aircraft such as the Caravan, King Air and Pilatus. Located at an altitude of 1,100 meters, the runway is 860 meters long and 15 meters wide, with an 8º incline and a patio with capacity for up to 4 aircraft. The dream of the runway was born with Carlinhos Repetto, founder of Ibiti Projeto, inspired by mountain airports such as Courchevel. In challenging terrain, in the first decade of the 2000s he made it possible to build it in a clearing in the middle of the forest, without having to cut down a single tree. The airfield was named after his mother, Carolina de Assis Repetto (1920-2025). The first woman to earn her aviator's license in Minas Gerais in 1939, Dona Lilina, as she was known, defied the standards of the time with boldness and courage. She flew aerobatics in her PP-GAN airplane, represented Minas Gerais in competitions and also stood out as a self-taught architect and the matriarch of a large family. Carolina passed away in February 2025, at the age of 104. Celebration The official inauguration, on September 18, brought together authorities, partners and friends of Ibiti Projeto, marking the beginning of a new stage for sustainable tourism in Ibiti Projeto. Fighting fires The airstrip not only shortens the distance between São Paulo and Ibiti Projeto, but is also a strategic support point for fighting fires in the region. In 2021, during a fire in the park, the operation was only contained with the help of aircraft hired by Ibiti Projeto, which used the then grass airfield as a base. With the renovation and asphalting, the runway now offers an even safer and more efficient infrastructure to support emergency actions, as well as allowing guests to fly exclusively.

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.
