Yo! My name's Gabriel and I love wildlife. I had been born and raised in São Paulo's urban chaos, that's why I'm moving foward to the countryside, into our natural patrimonies, looking for a more calm life. Come discover those patrimonies w/ me!

We’ll travel through time, combining breathtaking landscapes with captivating storytelling, revealing how this small village emerged as a cultural and natural heritage site full of charm and mystery.
