 – Short Description: UNIQUE: century-old seminary in the heart of a private wildlife reserve. Famous for MANED WOLVES (lobo-guará) who come to the doorstep every evening at dusk to eat fruit left by the monks — unmissable wildlife spectacle (June–September best). Spectacular São Bartolomeu waterfall (80m). Candiru and royal grotto caves. Giant anteater, tapir. One of Brazil’s most magical overnight experiences.
