Off to Alto Paraiso

A good night and up with the sun. Excellent multi fruit breakfast, all so ripe and delicious. Nino arrived around half eight to take us on a trip to Alto Paraíso.
Several stops along the way topping up with ethanol as it got cheaper the further we got from Brasilia. On arrival we went to see Nino’s eco house which has an amazing balcony with tremendous views. We also met his children who live next door.
Having checked in to our accommodation we had lunch at Chaupin in the delightful garden. Then we walked through town visiting the market and food stores passing the crystal, earring and clothes shops.
Late afternoon Nino drove us 20 km out of town for a sunset, where we saw two blue and yellow Macaws or arararas.
Back at base Fran knocked up a super pasta dish in the basic kitchen washed down by some local beers.Read more
