I'm pleased to present you the Caraça sanctuary:
Located at the Minas Gerais State, the Caraça Sanctuary is a Ecological reserve home o many different plant and animal species. One of the most famous is the Maned Wolf (Or Guará as we say it)
This tall and slim wolf in facing danger of extinction as there are not many of them left.
It is not that I don't like busy places as Rio de Janeiro or events like the Olympics, but there is so much more to see here in Brazil without falling into the Samba, Carnaval and Soccer stigma!
Among many tracks, you'll find gorgeous falls, wonderful nature and sightseeing.
You'll enjoy a calm and silent time, perfect to spend with you significant other or family, even with your group of friends!
I Hope I could make you interested. And this is ont only the tip of the iceberg of my wonderful state!
