The Veadeiros

So we headed with some friends to one of the best natural attraction near Brasilia, the Chapada (plateau) dos Veadeiros. There is a national park listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2001, with a huge number of waterfalls, natural basins and  pools. An even greater number are accessible from private properties.
We landed in the Vale da Lua, a valley with strange rock formation.
With us, two other couples and their kids, and Antoine, our photographer friend. We stayed in this very interesting house, a circular house with a round oculus... Roof out of dried palm, rammed earth walls, open loft for sleeping all the kids. A lush garden. And the hosts were very creative in their cooking. (Amazingly they would travel a mere 220 km to Brasilia weekly to do some of their errants).  And very relax place to be.


With Antoine I was supposed to do a small photo training. Here are a few shots of my most photogenic subject of the weekend. Unfortunately a portion of my inspiration and energies were sapped by a very intense allergic reaction to this superb house. Slowly. And to wake up like a complete rag the last morning and beg for forgiveness as we headed back half a day early...
