Fazenda Lila was founded in 1982 by the couple Lila and John.
Located in a valley at the foot of Pedra do Baú, in the Serra da Mantiqueira, the farm has become a sanctuary that shelters animals of different species and leads the reforestation efforts that have restored the area’s lush green landscape. Nearly 40,000 new trees now inhabit what was once an open and barren land.

Every action taken at Fazenda Lila seeks to honor and protect nature.
This commitment has revived multiple natural mineral springs and brought back the rich diversity of local wildlife and vegetation, contributing to the farm’s unique beauty.
Today, Fazenda Lila also serves as a welcoming space for events that promote inner journeys and meaningful pauses.

We have created a place where awareness and harmony guide us, and in return, the land rewards us daily in countless ways.

Over the years, it became clear that more people should have the opportunity to experience this place — that this land was meant to be shared.
Today, Fazenda Lila is a true sanctuary not only for local fauna and flora but also for people seeking deep rest, connection, and self-discovery.
