✨ A Special Honor in 2023

In 2023, I had the incredible honor of joining the very first class of certified guides by ICMBio and MONA Cagarras, allowing me to take visitors to the breathtaking Ilha Comprida. A milestone that marked the beginning of something truly unforgettable.

🚶‍♂️ Coming August 2025: The Trail Opens

Starting in August 2025, the trail will be open to the public, marking the result of years of dedication and research by my dear friend Flávio Carneiro, in collaboration with ICMBio. 🧭

This project was carefully crafted with a deep respect for every detail of the local ecosystem, a rare and delicate treasure.

🛥️ Exclusive Access, Unforgettable Experience

Access to the trail will be exclusively available to certified guides and authorized vessels, ensuring the protection of a biodiversity sanctuary that shelters hundreds of species, many of which are found nowhere else on Earth. 🌿🐦🐠

💚 Let’s Celebrate Conservation

Congratulations, MONA Cagarras, on 15 years of environmental awareness and protection! This is more than just a trail, it’s a legacy. And I couldn’t be more excited to guide my clients through this natural wonder. 🌟
