Full description

Meet the Guaraní people of the Tenondé Village, located in the outskirts of São Paulo. This visit offers a rare opportunity to experience their rich traditions and ancestral way of life, preserved despite the pressures of modern urbanization. The village community continues to speak the native Guaraní language and practice sustainable agriculture.

After a scenic 2-hour drive, you’ll arrive at the village, home to around 1,200 Guaraní who rely on subsistence farming, cultivating crops. You’ll explore their fields and discover traditional agricultural techniques. As you walk through the village, you’ll witness children singing, dancing, and playing, as well as handmade crafts that reflect the community’s deep connection to their land and culture.

A traditional lunch will be served, prepared on a wood-burning stove using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

This experience not only deepens your cultural understanding but also directly supports the future of the village and its people.

Itinerary

We will pick you up at your hotel in São Paulo and head southwards extreme of the city of São Paulo. After two hours of trip, we will arrive at an area where the indigenous Guaraní live.

The highlight of your visit will most likely be meeting and interacting with the Guarani people. Offer them respect and dignity and they’ll reward you in return with stories about their way of life, explanations of their artifacts, hikes through trails experiencing the diversity of the Atlantic rainforest. First, we will see the agricultural plantations of the Guaraní, where sweet potatoes, cassava and corn stand out. Then, we stroll through the village's territories, getting to know the flora and fauna of the area, see the children singing and having fun with typical dances or admire indigenous handicrafts. You will immerse yourself in the Guarani culture! After the activities, savor a delicious Guarani lunch prepared in a wood-burning stove by the tribe's inhabitants.

After the meal, if there is still time and good wind, go on a 10-minute boat ride along the reservoir and visit a distillery with artisanal production of wines, liqueurs and cachaça of all types, as well as homemade sweets and cheeses. In a large place, with animals and a green area, the environment resembles a farm located in a quiet and familiar place. "SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY"

After have such an adventurous day, on the journey back to hotel, we’ll cater the conversation to your interests and our expertise, whether that can be indigenous people situation in Brazil currently, the ancient dreamtime stories of the region’s earliest and original inhabitants before the Portuguese arrival, also their struggles and life during the colonial period, local bioma, or cultural history of the area. This is a socially-conscious tour that part of your payment is reverted to the Guarani village to support their projects within the community. It’s much more sincere and authentic than the typical tour and this will be real cultural immersion. You will spend the day getting to know the community, children, people and their work.
