With approximately 59 permanent residents, the village is a haven of peace surrounded by mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Located east of the Serra do Cipó National Park, the region is part of the Espinhaço mountain range, Brazil's only mountain range where the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest meet. This episode reveals the simplicity and welcoming nature of the residents. Matheus talks with businessman Chiquinho, a pioneer of local tourism and creator of the Pousada Portal da Serra, which has transformed the village into a destination for nature lovers. He also recounts curiosities about mysterious lights that appear in the mountains, fueling legends about unidentified flying objects. Matheus also interviews residents such as Dona Terezinha, a 76-year-old seamstress, and Seu José Gabriel, who reminisces about the simple life and the time when people walked to Itabira. The Minas Gerais tradition is evident in the cuisine with Ana Cláudia's "chicken stew" and in the artisanal cheese production of Zé Luiz, "Zé do Queijo," who has kept the art of milk production and manual work alive for 20 years. The episode concludes at the Boa Vista and Bong waterfalls, symbols of the natural power of Serra dos Alves, a place where time slows down and happiness is found in simple things. 🍀 Highlights: Serra dos Alves and its 59 welcoming residents Boa Vista and Bong waterfalls nestled among mountains Pousada Portal da Serra and sustainable tourism Zé Luiz's "frango suado" (sweated chicken) and artisanal cheese Stories, faith, and poetry in the heart of Itabira 🔑 Keywords: Serra dos Alves, Itabira, Serra do Cipó, Espinhaço, waterfalls, rural tourism, Minas Gerais cuisine #SerraDosAlves #Itabira #BoaSorteViajante ===================== WHO IS MATHEUS BOA SORTE? I am passionate about the cultural traditions of Northeast Brazil. To be more specific, from the Sertão region, which I believe is much more than just a part of Brazil that doesn't get much rain. For me, Sertão is a feeling, a state of mind, of those who carry within themselves a smile, faith, persistence, courage, and a little bit of cunning. I'm a publicist by academic training, and I pay my bills through art. I'm a singer, songwriter, writer, speaker, educator, actor, TV presenter, radio broadcaster... A lot, right? But I summarize all of that in just one profession: I AM A STORYTELLER.
