We had the amazing pleasure of spending a good part of a week at Laranjal Guest Ranch in September 2010. I was in Brazil for work and brought my wife and three children (16, 13, and 9). We all thoroughly enjoyed our time with Judy and her team at the ranch! For the record, we are not "horse people". Though... More

If you like horseback riding and you want to ride a great trained horse... Just go here. In three words... Horseback riding heaven. Also for non riders the place is relaxing. The owner makes you feel very much at home and answers all your questions. And the food ... three times a day just great! Can not wait to go... More

Fazenda Laranjal is our consistent top vacation spot. My husband & I have travelled yearly to Brazil since 2005. We are never disappointed. We have tried several other horse back riding destinations but have stopped looking because nothing comes close to Fazenda Laranjal. The quality of horses is only surpassed by the breathtaking countryside. Get used to relaxation, fabulous home... More

The host, Judy, was fantastic and her ranch of 80 plus horses was a joy to stay on. Off the beaten track, it provides for some amazing countryside through which... More

Fazenda Laranjal is a peaceful, idyllic farmhouse-turned-guest ranch surrounded by heartbreakingly beautiful Brazillian countryside. The main activity on the ranch is horseriding and you can do anything (depending on your level of experience) from visiting a waterfall and lakes, riding through sugarcane fields with amazing hilltop views to trying your hand at herding flocks of sheep. The owner Judy is... More

Fazenda Laranjal is a very laid back place, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of the Parana nature. If you love to ride horses, there is no better place than this Farm. For all levels there are challenging or just calm horses. If you like nature, if you like the life on a farm, learn how to milk... More
