Bicycle Trip to the Farm, April 2006
Stay in our farmhouse or camp beneath the stars on our lawn. Ride your bike through our coffee plants, walk around our farm village and meet the local workers and kids. Immerse yourself in our warm, welcoming Brazilian culture. Feast on our delicious home cooked meals after a long day of riding in the hills. Savor our coffee and learn, feel, and experience Brazil. Three days in Rio de Janeiro are also included at a 4 Star hotel just steps from Ipanema Beach with plenty to do.
You will be hosted by the Carvalho Dias family. We have been growing premium coffee for 5 generations and look forward to sharing our beautiful valleys, sustainable practices, and welcoming spirits with you.
Some of the Activities:
• Daily cycling (20 to 60 miles, with moderate to very challenging hills)
