Hello everybody!!

Today we had a wonderful day at Chapada Diamantina!

We left the hotel early in the morning and our group was splitted in two smaller groups. The first group went to Fazenda Pratinha, where they had the chance to do snorkelling in a cave, to go on a Zipline and tio swim in the wonderful waters of Pratinha Cave.

Meanwhile the other group went to Lapa Doce cave and they could walk through this wonderful cave where many brazilian telenovelas where shot. The exchange students had the opportunity to take many pictures and to learn more about the history of Chapada Diamantina.

After lunch group 1 went to Lapa Doce cave and group 2 went to Fazenda Pratinha. We went back to the hotel in the end of the afternoon and found a wonderful dinner waiting for us.

After dinner the exchange students had some free time to enjoy the pool and the game room. Tomorrow we will leave early to visit one of the most famous spots of Chapada Diamantina: Morro do Pai Inácio.

The trip is going very well and everybody is enjoying a lot!

Big Hugs to everybody!!

 

 

Hi folks!! 

Another day at Chapada Diamantina. Today the day was full of walking…  14km!!!

We started at Morro do Padre Inácio, where we hiked. Getting on the top, we took many pictures and we heard the legend that gave name to the place.

After that we went to the city to have lunch and some free time.

Then, we went hiking another thrill, and we arrived in a natural slide. We spend around an hour swimming and sliding, and then, back to the hotel walking.

In the hotel we had dinner and our usual meeting.

At the end of the day, a very cool Capoeira class!!

It was a full day, but very fun!!

Tomorrow we get on the road again, on our way to Maceio!!

We will send news soon 🙂

 

 

 

 

 

Good evening!

After 14 hours “on the road again”, we arrived yesterday night at Maceió, capital of Alagoas State.

Today morning we went to the famous Pajuçara beach, where we made the tour to the Natural Pools. There we could enjoy the landscape, the hot sun, the really clear water and we had a lot of fun!

After lunch we went to make some shopping at the “fair of handicrafts” over here, and we ended our day watching a perfect sunset by the beach!

We came back to the hotel, had our meeting and now we are going to rest: tomorrow we have another long day over here!

Hugs

 

 

Good Afternoon!!

 

Today, we write from Rio Grande do Norte state!!!! Here we are in Natal, capital city of the state and known as “Sun City”. Because of the geographic condition of the city, near the Ecuador line, some days here happens to have almost 15 hours of sun: it is perfect for the people who enjoy the daylight!

 

We arrived here yesterday after a calm journey from Maceió!

 

Today we woke up at 8 in the morning and at 9 we went out to visit the biggest cashew tree in the world, “Cajueiro de Pirangi”. After we stayed at Pirangi beach to enjoy the sun!

 

 

Tonight we will have a tropical party (Luau) in front of the beach, with a table full of fruits and a DJ!! Everybody is really excited for that!

 

The trip is PERFECT so far, and they are having “the time of their life”!!

 

Hugs!

Smile, we are in Bahía!

We arrived yesterday after spending the day in Praia do Forte where we visited the Tamar Project, a project that helps protecting the sea turtles and other animals. Last night we had our Talent Show, it was very funny and everybody loved it!

Today we had a beautiful day in Salvador! We started our day with a visit to the Nosso Senhor do Bomfim church and the exchange students had the chance to buy the famous bracelets from the church.

After that we went to the Modelo Market and everybody bought many souvenirs from Bahía and from the Northeast.

Then we went up the Lacerda Elevator which is one of the main tourist spots of Salvador, and arrived at the historic part of the city. After lunch we visited the San Francisco de Assis church which is the richest church of Brazil because of its amount of gold inside.

The exchange students also had some free time in Pelourinho and they took lots of pictures. We endedthe night watching a beautiful presentation of the „Bale Folclorico da Bahia“, a great cultural spectacle, considered the best show of the trip by most of the exchange students.

Tomorrow we will continue our trip and will arrive in Porto Seguro! We will post more news from there.

Best Regards,

 

 

Good Morning!

 

Unfortunately the trip is over…

 

Yesterday was the last day of tours! After a wonderful boat ride through some Angra dos Reis islands, we arrived at our hotel, which is located in front of the sea! A perfect place for the farewell party… At night we danced and enjoyed our last night. We had a Tropical Lual: it was really a special night for the students…it is not easy to say goodbye to friends…

 

In just a few hours we will head to São Paulo and the exchange students will go home, either from the airport or from the bus station.
