Brazil -- July 2009 -- Caraca

Caraca






Hike to the Cascatinha falls. Easy walk less than 1/2 hour.

Not very much water, but still a beautiful setting
and great for climbing rocks


Be careful !!!


No Josh .... DON'T !!!




After Cascatinha, a group tried to find the Bocaina falls -
- but ran out of daylight.
Along the way, there is a great view of "the face"

On the way back, we also stopped at Prainha (little beach)
which was a nice sandy bend on the stream. Lovely place.


Waiting for the wolf....
(It was warm ... heavy coat not needed!)

The first visit was before 8pm, then returned
around 9 for more than 1/2 hour.
Everyone got to see the wolf -- a fantastic show!

Not just one -- but two wolves at once !!

Meals at Caraca are good. Breakfast is fun
with a big griddle to fix your own speciality.
After breakfast ...
we were off to Itabira and the Vale mines.
