Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are regularly seen around flowering plants and the residential area.
Nature at Granja del Sol
A property that is also a habitat
Between the residential area, pastures, creeks, river, and roughly ten hectares of woodland, we regularly encounter wild animals and a diverse range of plants. They are simply part of everyday life on the property.
Many habitats on one property
Granja del Sol is not one uniformly used piece of land. Woodland, open pastures, cropland, the residential area, and several water features create very different shelter and feeding areas for animals and plants.
Woodland
Around ten hectares of woodland combine larger natural areas with sections where native and regionally typical trees have already been planted.
Open areas
Pastures, cropland, paths, and the residential area form open and semi-open habitats where different species can be observed than in the closed woodland.
Water
Natural watering points, a small creek, and the Río Pirapó along the rear boundary add further habitats alongside the drier areas.
Wildlife is part of everyday life
Many encounters are not rare exceptions but part of daily life on the property. Which animals can be seen naturally depends on the time of day, season, and the particular part of the land.
Owls
Owls are part of the property’s wildlife, especially during quieter hours and after dark.
Loros
Small green parrots, locally usually referred to simply as “loros,” are also regularly seen on the property.
Swallows
Swallows can regularly be observed above the open areas and around the residential area.
“Kiri”
The birds known locally here as “Kiri” are seen particularly often on the pastures near the cattle.
Wild guinea pigs
Wild guinea pigs are regularly encountered along transitions between open ground, denser vegetation, and the edge of the woodland.
Hares
Hares also appear regularly across the open and semi-open parts of the property.
Woodland, reforestation, and established vegetation
Around ten hectares of woodland shape a large part of the property. Natural stands, woodland edges, and younger plantings blend into one another and create varied vegetation.
Natural woodland
A large part of the woodland is intentionally left natural. Denser and lighter areas, woodland edges, and natural succession create different structures and retreat spaces.
Young plantings
Around 1,200 native trees were planted on an open area within the woodland. This young reforestation complements the existing forest and continues to develop with the property.
Native and regional tree species
Existing and planted species include lapacho, curupaý, yvyra pyta, timbó, and cedro, among others. Established stands and younger trees therefore sit side by side.
Fruit, useful plants, and traditional plant knowledge
Alongside woodland and pastures, the property contains numerous useful and garden plants that were deliberately planted or have been established for some time. They add even more variety around the residential area and across the open parts of the property.
Fruit and useful plants
The existing stock includes older trees as well as younger plantings.
Including: guava, mango, avocado, pitanga, several citrus varieties, bananas, mulberry, plum, and pecan.
Traditional medicinal, tea, and culinary plants
Various plants also grow on the property that are traditionally used in Paraguay as medicinal, tea, or culinary plants. They are a natural part of the diverse ways in which the existing vegetation is used.
Ornamental plants and shade trees
Around the residential area and elsewhere on the property, a range of ornamental plants and shade-giving trees complement the vegetation, including jacaranda, ceibo, flamboyant tree, inga, orchid tree, Santa Rita, and jasmine.
