Exploring the countryside

Last week, everything was set up for a great weekend. The plan was to go to a place about an hour outside of the city. This place is basically located in the middle of nowhere, well, there were only a few neighbours within several square km, but the nature is wonderful. We had also bought a lot of meat for barbecues and some other necessities for a barbecue, as you can see below. Brazilian barbecues are really good. There is never too much meat on the barbecue, but there is always something there, for hours and hours. The meat is really tasty and it keeps coming forever.

Unfortunately, the weather was not great. It was raining the whole weekend (which is NOT supposed to happen in Brazil)! Of course we still went on the trip, and it was great!
This was the view from where we were staying.

We followed some trails into the forest and found many nice things. A large home for termites:

A tree marking the entrance to the home of a physicist:

And several beautiful waterfalls and natural pools:
