ARRIVING IN BRAZIL

A new country, new adventures, new anecdotes, new places and new people.

My days in Toronto are over and it is time to travel to Brazil , a country where an old friend is waiting for me, where more than a friend he is a great brother, I remember leaving Toronto, where I left my bicycle and some things to go to the airport and take the plane to São Paulo , where I would have to take a bus to Bello Horizonte , State of Minas Gerais , a long trip where I spent my first hours adapting to the place, a bus which for some reason at one point During the trip, the police stopped me, that day I just showed my license and told me where I was going without any major problems.

I went from the cold of Canada to the heat of Brazil, a heat that suffocated me, a humid heat, a climate to which I had to adapt. After long hours of traveling I arrived at the Bello Horizonte terminal, where I met my dear friend Yerko, the person with whom I was going to start the backpacking, but this time on foot, we arrived at his house and spent 3 days there before starting. our trip.

When it was time to leave, I remember that I was carrying a lot of weight and it was certainly not the same as pedaling. I don't remember exactly how we left the city. I only know that we were looking for a cachoeira (waterfall), a cachoeira that we had never seen before. We found, since they had given us an address where we only walked without seeing anything of what would be the Cachoeira, after walking a lot that day and sweating a lot, we decided to look for a place to spend the night, we were in the middle of the forest , place that was our home for that night, where we had a wonderful firefly show that made that night magical.
