But here are some anyway. After a long 2 and a 1/2 hour drive (made longer because Brazil has speed bumps even on highway roads!) with Wheber, his wife, Bea, and, my partner, Fernando, we arrived at Pedra Azul. Towering dramatically above the surrounding green hills, this rock outcropping made for a great hike with a friendly and intelligent staff. On the hike, we meet a fascinating guide who was born in Brazil to Japanese parents but only meet his Brazilian wife when he returned to Japan during Brazil's hyperinflation crisis in the early 90s!!! Aside from the immaculate views are hidden natural pools that many visitors choose to swim in. All in all, it was a great way to spend a Saturday. Thanks Wheber and Bea.
