A small-group São Paulo outing blending Pico do Jaraguá, rural Parelheiros, and a Guarani indigenous village visit with music and traditional food.
“Esperienza bellissima! Ci siamo ritrovati immersi nella foresta, abbiamo toccato con mano le tradizioni e il cibo della tribù Guarani. Ci hanno deliziato della loro musica tradizionale (tra l’altro hanno anche un CD con le loro canzoni iscritte). Il cibo era delizioso: ci hanno cucinato un piatto tipico indigeno ed è stato anche possibile nella versione vegetariana per le componenti del gruppo vegetariano. Con la guida, Rocco, ci siamo trovati benissimo. Anche durante il tragitto in macchina ci ha illustrato non solo la storia della tribù e accennato qualche parola per ringraziarci, ma anche la storia di San Paolo. Inaspettato! Grazie per questa esperienza!”

This activity was very educational to me and even made me a little emotional. It was totally worth booking it.

Rocco, thank you for everything and keep up the good work!”
