São João Ecotour Lodge
SÃO JOÃO ECOTOUR LODGE
The Park Hotel “Passo do Lontra” decided to expand its activities and purchased São João Farm. In the beginning a tour was placed in the area with the name “ecological day at São João Farm”, in which guests of Passo do Lontra Hotel enjoyed a day at the farm riding horses and hiking.
Many tourists started to enquiry if it was possible to spend the night at São João farm, since it is such a beautiful location and it would be great to stay longer and be able to enjoy the sun rise and sunset.
After a lot of insistence, Passo do Lontra decided to build a ecological camping with hammocks and private apartments equipped with ceiling fan, TV, A/C, and private bathroom with hot shower so guests could spend the night at the farm.
Considering nature’s preservation, all of the constructions were made with recycled materials. The water residuals of the bathrooms goes to septic tanks and the farm’s trash is separated and recycled.
The farm has electricity, running water, shared showers, kitchen, bar, and two different accommodation options: hammock dorms and private apartments.
In total, there is space for 60 people in the camping + 20 people in private apartments. All meals are served (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and drinks are sold separately, as well as other items, such as: batteries, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, snacks, e.g.
The meal area is also protected with screen against mosquitoes.
