Ibiti

📍 Minas Gerais, Brazil
Website | Instagram | Google Maps

In Brazil’s Mantiqueira Mountains, Ibiti is an experimental socio-environmental project reimagining the way we live with the planet. Spread across 6,000 hectares of restored land, Ibiti weaves together conservation, community, and creativity to protect all living beings and the home we share.

Once a working cattle ranch, Ibiti has transformed into a sanctuary for biodiversity. Guests can stay in beautifully designed lodges and repurposed farmhouses, wander through waterfalls and forest trails, and immerse themselves in projects that go far beyond tourism, from regenerative farming to carbon-negative initiatives.

But Ibiti is as much about people as it is about nature. Through partnerships with local communities, it creates jobs, funds education, and preserves cultural heritage, proving that regeneration is as social as it is environmental.

Stepping into Ibiti is stepping into a world that is inviting us to rethink our relationship with the Earth.

✨ Share your favourite hidden gem with us! We’d love to hear about those off-the-beaten-path spots that made your travels unforgettable.

In this week’s What’s Hot & What’s Not, meet Teddy, founder of Soul Dreamers, a transformative travel initiative connecting conscious explorers with hidden communities, art, and flavours.

From Lisbon’s multicultural neighbourhoods to community-led adventures in Colombia, Teddy designs journeys rooted in storytelling, empathy, and authentic human connection, showing how travel can be a force for personal growth and positive impact.

🔥 What’s Hot

Conscious, community-based travel where tours highlight local art, hidden rituals, and authentic everyday culture. At Soul Dreamers, our new Lisbon Secrets Collective brings guests into real community spaces, immigrant-run eateries, and street art corners many tourists never see. These soulful explorations are what travelers remember most, and this is what travel should be in 2025.

❄️ What’s Not

Rigid, over-scripted “experiences” that feel staged and disconnected from local context. When places feel inauthentic even if polished, they lose their meaning. Forget “photography on demand” gimmicks, travel with heart needs unexpected encounters, unscripted stories, and shared humanity.
