Brazilian Farm Getaway: Cliffside Horseback Riding & Photography

🗺️ Day 1 Activities: Fishing 🎣, feeding ducks 🦆, building a bonfire 🔥, spotting capybaras Journey: Departed from São Paulo to Monte Verde (~2.5–3 hours). After arrival, explored the farm’s riverside before retreating to our cabin at dusk. Climate: Monte Verde, dubbed "Brazil’s Little Switzerland", has wild temperature swings—nights get chilly! We were given firewood and alcohol blocks to light a cozy cabin fire. 🗺️ Day 2 Activities: Volleyball 🏐, horseback riding 🐎, mini-train ride to mountaintop 🚂, waterfall visit, stargazing 🌌, marshmallow roasting, and making new friends (turma). Vibes: After settling in, a friendly uncle (Tio) from the program whisked us away for volleyball. The locals’ warmth 💗 turned strangers into fast friends! 🗺️ Day 3 Highlights: Sunset horseback ride 🌄 (organized by the stable Tio), more volleyball 🏐, escape room games, and tag. Unforgettable Moment: At 4:30 PM, we rode into the hills—stunning vistas led to a cliffside sunset that made every trot worth it. 📍 Address: Hotel Fazenda Floresta Negra, Monte Verde #Hotel Fazenda#Brasilia#travel guide#trip diary#Brazil#Brazil travel
