Fish along the Highway
There is a marvelous eatery along the rodovia to São João da Boa Vista. It is a working farm with a fishing hole, a restaurant and pousada (motel).
As you drive along watch for this sign on the east side of the highway.
Turn in here.
You come in along that road under the trees.
As you drive through the farm you come to this sign. The pousada is on the right and all the other attractions are straight ahead.
Here come Judy and Urso Branco up to the restaurant.
The whole place has several intersting buildings.
There is the fishing pond in front of the restaurant.
I like the rustic benches they have.
This hut is at the end of a small walkway out over the pond.
You can just make out people fishing across the pond.
Inside there is a salad bar.
The main course is here.
They have a modest selection of local wines.
The bar is fairly big.
They can seta a large crowd in this room.
We arrived a little late so we didn't need to line up.
Judy selects her food. Notice she is accompanied by a little helper.
The main course was a choice of chicken, beef, rice and veggies. Simple country fare but very delicious.
Now this is just like home. Dogs! Look under the table.
From the small hut out over the pond looking back at the restaurant.
Look at the family fishing under the restaurant, in the shade.
They even have a dance hall off to the side.
You can see people fishing on the far side of the pond. You can have your catch cooked up for you if you wish.
The view of the mountains.
Another of those intersting benches.
There is a ramp up to the second floor, over the restaurant.
This is a hall that can be rented out for conferences or other events.
There are dances held here on Saturdays.
A variation on those benches.
This is the pousada back near the entrance.
Someone has a sense of humour or just a need, The sign says Little Goat House whereas there is a calf in it. As I said. this is a working farm.
This is another "Must See" when you visit the vicinity of São João da Boa Vista/Águas da Prata.
For more information about these facilities go to the Progresso website or telephone them at (19)3623-1990.
