92,000 m² of nature, free-roaming
animals and unhurried time.

Our story

Your ranch in Chapada dos Veadeiros

We believe there is a perfect blend of countryside and comfort — and we built Paradise Ranch to prove it, about 25 minutes (19 km) by car from the centre of Alto Paraíso de Goiás.

The recipe blends American-ranch traditions with the natural wealth of the Cerrado: llamas and ponies roaming the property, a fire pit at every chalet door and the organic garden that supplies the basket.

We built the ranch with family in mind: a place to raise children with freedom and live the simplest days of life. Here the kids are part of the day — every morning they feed the animals alongside the team.

The animal family

Raised free, the way they were born.

  • Two adult llamas, one brown and one pale, in the Cerrado pasture

    The llamas of the Chapada

    Five llamas, a pioneering herd in the region, gentle and free in the pasture. Daily feeding at 9:00 am.

  • A child on a spotted pony on the ranch trail, a chalet behind

    Pony rides

    A calm ride around the grounds on gentle ponies, led by our team.

    Charged separately More information

    The pony ride is for children only: kids ride ponies their own size, by advance booking and always with the team. It is charged separately.

Our commitment to the Cerrado

3,500+ native seedlings planted in the Cerrado

Inside the fence the commitment is concrete: more than 3,500 native-species seedlings in the ranch’s reforestation area. The trails across the grounds run through it; during your stay, ask the team to point out the newest ones.

Growing & sustainability

The ranch’s organic garden

Agroecological growing free of pesticides, respecting the Cerrado soil. Medicinal herbs, fresh seasonings and vegetables that supply our rituals and connect the land to your table.

The breakfast ritual

The basket at your door,
no queue and no clock.

Every morning between 8:00 and 8:15 the basket arrives on your chalet’s porch: artisan bread and ingredients from local Chapada producers. You have it whenever you like, on the deck, in your pyjamas, with the mountains ahead.
