Ranch Stays

AMETUR. The Association of Minas Gerais Tourism (AMETUR), is a group of respected, trustworthy ranch owners who have converted their fazendas (farms, or ranches) into accommodations with luxurious yet down-home surroundings. You can visit one or more of these ranches, where relaxation, swimming, horseback riding, walks in the woods, and home-cooked meals are the order of the day.
