5.00The trip to the park(Parque Nacional Serra dos Órgãos) was amazing. We were guided by a well prepared guide that very friendy showed us a spectacular nature and the respect towards it. After the trekking, we had lunch in a local restaurant with a waterfall on its backyard. Good company and food from the Brazilian countryside, hearing birds' songs and drinking caipirinhas. What a souvenir.
Very professional
