02/02/2020 - Río de Janeiro

El ultimo día en Rio de Janeiro con la espera de un día lleno de sol y perfecto para la playa ( lo cual no sucedió jajaja).
Todo comenzó con un rico desayuno realizado por nuestras manos. 
Las ganas de conocer una nueva playa eran grandes y más aún ya que es una de las playas más famosas de Brasil. Disfrutamos de la playa, tanto como unos corrían directo a las olas, otros preferían descansar y tomar un tranquilo y relajado día de playa.
A continuación el grupo se dividía en dos partes, la gente que comía en el hotel (Por la cantidad de comida que tenían en el), y la otra que prefería buscar un lunch rico por el centro de Ipanema.

Hicimos el check-out para salir rumbo a Angra dos Reís. Hotel increíble con una vista al lago.

Las energías del grupo eran tan grandes y con una emoción por encima, que aunque fuera en la noche, fuimos a nadar y nos encontramos con la increíble sorpresa de que el agua era ridículamente deliciosa (hablando de la temperatura). Seguimos con la cena, fiesta, nominaciones y mucho baile por delante.
Fue una muy linda noche para terminar la última fiesta del viaje. 
    Tuvimos un curefew bueno, con tiempo pea poder dar pines, abrazos, bailar con todos, cantar, caminar por el muelle y poder platicar en el, gritar y sobre todo reír. En toda la noche nos acompañó una mesa llena de fruta (solo duró 30 minutos) pero fue muy buena.
Y así fue como finalizamos nuestro lindo día, con una bella combinación entre Río de Janeiro y Angra dos Reís.

01/02/2020 - Rio de Janeiro

We started our day very early in the morning with a delicious home-made brakefast, after that we started our trip heading to the meca of brazilian football the Maracaná stadium on our way there we were able to admire the beuty of Rio de Janeiro and learn a little bit more about the culture, at the stadium we witnessed the passion of brazilian for this sport and we saw a lot of stuff from the most important brazilian players of all decades and times, then we went into de field by the "meeting hall" so we could feel a bit of what the players feel when they walk out to the field.

After that we went to the city to have lunch so everyone splitted to choose whatever it was that they wanted and after this we went to the "Museo de amanhã" wich is a place where you can learn a bit of what humans and all speacies have been doing among the years. 
After this museum's visit, the group have been separed in two and people have choosen between enjoy more the museum or visit a neighborhood with a lot of wall painting all along desafected docks ! It was really beautiful and looked like a tiny part of Europe in Rio de Janeiro. We've enjoyed the place around the museum de amanhã and we've taken the direction of the "Pan de Azúcar ". 
We've arrived to the feet of the cable car and we have waited it singing and playing some games in circle on the grass! 
Finally, the our of the climb rang and we've taken the cable car direction the first mount " Morro da Urca" on the road of the "Pan de azúcar". We've looked the view and different stores around but quickly, we've taken another cable car to climb highter, to the "Pan de Azúcar "!
Aboard the cable car above the ravine, we've enjoyed a really beautiful view of the "pan de azucar" the "Morro da urca" and two parts of Rio !
We've arrived to the second mount and we have enjoyed the views and the differents activities that we have the possibility to do like walking in the forest around the top of the mount, doing some shopping or better; take some coffee with a panoramic view on Copacabana beach !! 
But sadly, the rain has surprised us and we used to come back on the first mount in case if they close the cable car! We've taken again a lot of pictures and drinks some juices but the time to come back was ringing and we've returned to the bus. At 8, we've stoped to a pizzaria when we've shared together a lot of tasty pizzas around large tables and with friends. We've came to the hotel around 9pm and we've meet all together to the front of the hotel at 10 to do the today's meeting. After have received our t shirt and some information about the day of tomorrow, we've enjoyed the time together until midnight!.

Continuamos el viaje con un clima muy lluvioso hasta que al fin llegamos a la ciudad que todos esperábamos, Rio, al rededor de las 5 de la tarde pudimos apreciar a lo lejos el Cristo y el Pão de Açúcar, llegamos al hotel y conocimos a los nuevos intercambistas que se sumaron a esta aventura, fuimos a cenar conociendo un poco las calles de río con un clima no muy favorable mucha lluvia, en realidad pasamos casi todo el día en el bus pero como siempre nos divertimos mucho con todo el grupo, terminamos el día entusiasmados por conocer más de esta ciudad mañana.

29/01/2020 - Vitória

Today we were allowed to sleep longer. We had to wake up at 8 in the morning and we all needed this because of the talent show. After we put on the suncream we arrived at the beach. At first sight the beach wasnt really impressive and everybody was a bit dissapointed about it. The waves were very small so there were not a lot of people interested in the surfing classes. Furthermore were there no restaurants of stores to buy something. Nevertheless we had a lot of fun.
Around 12:30 we walked to the city. In this small city we had to find our lunch of the day. We all ended up at a pizzeria to eat there and we had the famous acaí as a dessert. Afterwards we returned to the beach for one more hour. We did some wrestling and sprinting with the boys to entertain ourselves. 
We returned to the hotel were we have been chilling in the swimming pool. When everybody was not tired anymore we went with a small group of people to the shopping mall. We spent the time here until we had to get back to the hotel for dinner.
After dinner we had the meeting. Here Bruno explained us about Rio, for example what to do when we get robbed, hear a gunshot or see a gun. Later we had some freetime until midnight and after all it was a very nice and relaxing day.

25/01/2020 - Salvador

First and last day in Salvador.

After an early breakfast at 07.30 we went with the bus for a city tour with a very cute and multi-languaged guide. 

In the morning we spent most of the city tour in the bus with a few stops, at the fort and the church with the many colorful bonds that probably were the highlight on this tour. 
Next stop was a 2-leveled tourist market. Here we got some free time to eat lunch and look around. 

Nobody was prepared for the 2-hour walk through the city that followed, and had to survive the day without their phones, when we all thought we were going with the bus again. 

Our city tour ended in another of the 374 churches of Salvador.
To everybody’s joy we got 3 hours to do whatever we wanted. There were lots of souvenir shops, cozy cafes and even a music festival in front of the house that Michael Jackson filmed his “They don’t care about us”- music video. 
The dinner we had on the 2nd floor next to an outdoor concert, so we could enjoy the music while eating. 

Again we had an incredible cultural experience of Brazil when we watched a kind of tradition theater play. Of course it ended with a Capoeira.

We returned at the hotel around 10 PM, after a very long but good day.

23/01/2020 - Recife / Canindé de São Francisco

We started our day by waking up really early at 5pm in Recife to get our breakfast with a really beautiful view to the sea. 

Afterwards at 6am we started our bus trip to the next city, unfortunately it started raining so the bus trip took a little bit longer than planed. 

At 4:30pm we arrived to a restaurant to eat lunch and after that we went for a  boat trip at a canyon, the boat trip was really beautiful. Because of the bad weather it started raining again, so we spend most of the time under the roof in the boat but we still enjoyed the trip, it was normally planned that we were supposed to swim in the beautiful canyon but due to the rain we could not. It was still a pretty and fun boat trip.

 After that we went to another hour bus trip to a really good hotel with a pretty pool and a big Gym. Tomorrow at 6 pm we will leave to the next Cities and a another long bus trip.

Salimos en los buggys por el desierto y fue una experiencia increíble, mucha adrenalina y momentos divertidos, a lo largo del viaje hicimos varias paradas donde había diferentes actividades como sandboard, deslizadores enormes, Tiroleza y camellos.

Cruzamos el río en pequeños botes y visitamos un lago.
Terminamos y tomamos muchas fotos en un increíble atardecer. Terminamos y volvimos a darnos un baño al hotel para después salir a cenar.
La cena fue muy buena y un restaurante muy bueno, cantamos y comimos mucho para  al final volver al hotel y descansar de un muy buen y largo día.

19/01/2020 - Maceió - Natal

Today we drove from Maceo to Natal. The bus ride takes something like 10 hours. Allot of our group were really tired because the day before was really exhausting. So the most of us took a break and slept up to 12:00 p.m. At 12:00 was lunch. In the restaurant we made the Jegue Porreta but everyone stared at Ben (the Jegue Porreta guy) because at first he sad the worlds really quiet when it is supposed to be loud. So he sad it twice but louder.

Then we all went inside the bus and started to watch a movie called "Seventeen Again," some of the people were watching, some were sleeping, and some others were talking. After the movie, we stayed in the bus a little bit more longer and started to talk with eachother. 

We arrived the hotel more or less at 6:30 p.m. The most of us went into the pool and checked in our rooms. At 8:30 p.m. it was expected to go to the restaurant but everybody was ready at 8:25 p.m. The dinner was good. We took a lot pictures and had hilarious conversations. The dinner was expected to be fancy but it wasn't. In the bus we sung a lot and made jokes. We had the daily meeting from Terra Brasil, then had 30 minutes of curfews. :)

18/01/20 - Maceió

La historia comienza con una playa de fondo.
Despertando a las 7:00 de la mañana con un espectacular desayuno incluido. 30 minutos nos deparan de la experiencia inolvidable que se aproximaba, incluida la cantidad excesiva de protector solar.
Este comenzó con la increíble vista que proporcionaba nuestro crucero.





Comenzamos a dividirnos en grupos para hacer las actividades del dia (la dona, la banana, los restaurantes y las tiendas).
 Mi grupo fue hacer la dona y la banana, cómo era de esperarse. Y al finalizar esas actividades fuimos a almorzar a la orilla de la playa con la claridad espectacular con nos brinda su limpieza.


La verdad es que aprovechamos más para una tarde relajada, ya que tuvimos unos días anteriores con caminatas largas y exhaustivas. No pudo faltar el coco en la mano con la brisa de las olas.

Después de la maravilla de refrescar en el agua volvimos al crucero para ir al hotel. En el hotel continuamos la diversión con las energías que recuperamos.

Rápidamente fuimos al centro para hacer shopping, por el viaje de mañana. prosiguiéndose con un baile tipico brasileño, instrumentos antiguos que daban la esencia de lo tradicional de Brasil. Aprendimos a bailar con Sebastián (el intercambista mexicano). 
Y el día concluyó con experiencias inolvidables para todos.

14/01/20 - Chapada da Diamantina


We started the day out early in the morning by getting breakfast and rushing to get everything ready for the start of the day. 4 guys ended up not making it in time because of the eventful night before. We started by walking towards the bus, which was parked a 20-minute walk away from the hotel where we stay in Lencois. From there we had a 2-hour bus trip to our first location which was called Fazeanda Pratinha. For us, it was the first beautiful natural location of this trip. At this place, we had the possibility to do different activities. The activities were kayaking, snorkeling and stand-up peddling. There was also a zipline available to use. A lot of people did the snorkeling, we as well. During that activity we went into a big cave with underwater flashlights so we could explore the place. It took 30 minutes from the start till the end and it was really special to see something like that. In the cave it is really, really dark, so without the flashlights we would have seen nothing. After we came back from the snorkeling. We went to the lake to go swimming and talking a bit. We did not have a lot of time left, so we left after 30 minutes to go to the restaurant were we would have lunch.


After a bus ride of 1.5 hour we arrived at the restaurant which was located next to our next activity: exploring a cave by foot. We all really enjoyed the lunch, where there even was cactus to eat! This was farmed on the restaurants’ own land. We ended up being divided into 3 groups:  a red one, a yellow one and a blue one. The reason for that was so we could experience the cave to the fullest. We all got a flashlight and got sent on our ways, every group had two guides to show them through the cave. Inside we got an explanation about how the cave was found and what animals was thriving in these environments, we also got shown different kinds of natural shaped figures.



Then, after a sleepy ride home in the bus, everyone was exhausted and ended up all being in the pool to cool down, we ate dinner and then prepared for the “surprise” which was a Capoeira group. Capoeira is a dance that combines fighting with dancing. It turns out into a really special combination of movements. They were very talented, and they also involved us in their dance. It was special to see a dance that is so different of what we are used to in our own countries. That is also the reason everyone was enjoying so much.
