Tauá Paths

The trails of the reserve enable hiking through the many bromelia and native flower thickets, enchanting us with the exuberant nature, where the unexpected blooms out of the dense green bushes. An array of tones never seen by the world!

Each month, not governed by the annual seasons, a blooming explosion of a certain species occurs, providing an unique spectacle for its admirers. In this unexpected spring, where real time does not exist, everything obeys its own genetics.

The visitor may walk peacefully, enveloped by singing birds, delighted with the subtle flight of the butterflies and in rapture with the surrounding chromatic beauty.

There's no need to find explanation for what the eyes focus on, we must only feel the meaning of colors, the peace that is offered by the forest, shining with sparkling green chlorophyll.

Trails of nature preservation riches, textures, scents, sounds and colors. Magic symphony!

Trails that need not go anywhere, all we have to do is to step on the "serrapilheira" (forest floor) to hear its rustle.

Nature has a single way of amazing us. It leads us to such a special spiritual state, that the daydream removes us from our expected horizons, before a world that has infinity as its sign.

At this moment we may reach sensory waves, making it imperious to evoke the imaginary, and attempt to listen to the gods.....


Tereza Kolontai thanks the competent and dedicated contribution from Christian Mehdi for the recuperation and environmental management of the native bromelias of the Tauá reserve.
