Photographer’s Note

First of all, best wishes for 2006!

While Brazil may be known this side of the equator for its amazing beaches, vast jungles, stunning women and a penchant for fingerprinting Americans, it holds many treasures in its countryside.
One of its most treasured getaway spots is Campos do Jordão, a group of towns tucked in a valley of the Atlantic rainforest known for its unforgettable natural scenery and eco-tourism adventures.


The Pedra do Baú (Rock of the Trunk) is found at São Bento do Sapucaí town, with over 50 hiking trails, it's a national favorite for climbers and eco-tourists alike. It also has a launching platform for hang-gliding for the adrenaline junkies. Here you'll find great facilities for a Brazilian favorite: arborism, or tree-walking. This is done over a network of bridges built on treetops where you get up-close with tree fauna and have great views of the land below.
