The day begins on the coastal highway, windows open to salt and the green edge of the Atlantic Forest, as the vehicle climbs toward Bertioga and a small Guarani community. Arrival is unhurried: people meet you, not a performance. Conversation and rituals take the lead — language, stories, and the slow explanation of spiritual ties to river and forest.

Bring a refillable water bottle
