The invitation

This photo was taken by us nearby Mostardas. Between the ocean and the Lagoa dos Patos lies a beautiful small strip of land, full with birds, such as Flamencos and Southern Screamers, as well as fantastic trees, like this one.

The left pictures were made by us close to Itapuã. Above shows the hummingbirds enjoying the flowers which symbolize the state. Below shows the view over an old fishers town which has been given back to nature, when the national park was formed. On the right hand side you can see Araucária's through the mist. Amazing trees, not only very beautiful to look at, but also bringing forth delicious gigantic pine seeds. 30^o07'07.38" S, 51^o01'52.26" W are the exact coordinates where Vila Ventura is located.

Here we sit at the edge of the canyons in the Parque Nacional de Aparados da Serra.
