Chão do Rio Family

It all started with a passion for a place discovered by chance (Chão do Rio) by a couple who are now a family…

Coming from urban lives, but passionate about nature and with rurality in their childhood memories, it was in Chão do Rio, in Travancinha, that in 2001 they found a place that makes them feel whole, where smiles come from within and happiness is experienced in simple things, like what you feel when planting a tree.

They created roots there that they didn't have and dream of one day living there!
