Caraça Weekend

In the beginning of August our family spent a lovely weekend at Caraça. Love, love, LOVE that place! As usual, we stayed up to see the maned wolf and were rewarded with the visit of two of them. Very cool! 

Alina and I were wretchedly sick, yet I managed to wake up early the next day to go hiking with my siblings. The kids stayed back with Gabriel and my parents. We hiked 11 km in 2 hours and spent a couple of hours exploring and enjoying nature. Yes, I nearly fainted from exhaustion, heh. I hadn't done that (hiked) in a looooooong time though, so it was worth it.

Good morning sunshine!

Our destination: between those mountains



Getting there ...

Bocaina waterfall with its humble, winter trickle:


Aw, what love!

At the top of the waterfall after having climbed up its side:



Rocks! My almost-2m-tall brother is there somewhere ...


A pretty little waterfall:

So high ...
