Este establecimiento ha pertenecido por varias generaciones a la familia de Souza Prates, que incluye a Celia de Souza Prates (viuda de Ricardo Peixoto Nin, hermano de mi padre) y sus hijos (primos hermanos míos): Luiz Ricardo (Ricardito, fallecido en 1993), María del Carmen (Carminha), Celina, María Esther (Teté) y Martín Alfredo (Tutú) -- y sus descendientes.

En la época del Imperio, el Posto São Luiz era el lugar de recambio de caballos para los carruajes que viajaban entre Río y Petrópolis.

Algo de la historia del Posto São Luiz se relata en "Um Rancho que Revive o Passado" (documento de 1943)

This ranch has belonged for several generations to the de Souza Prates family, which includes Celia de Souza Prates (widow of Ricardo Peixoto Nin, brother of my father) and her children (first cousins of mine): Luiz Ricardo (Ricardito, who passed away in 1993), María del Carmen (Carminha), Celina, María Esther (Teté) and Martín Alfredo (Tutú) -- and their descendants.

On the times of the Brazilian Empire, the Posto São Luiz was the place where stagecoaches changed horses, on their way between Rio and Petropolis.

There is a 1943 document that tells some of the history of Posto São Luiz: "Um Rancho que Revive o Passado" (in Portuguese).
