~20 km from Pirapora Minas Gerais (BR) hidden behind a small town lives this Ficus. He has taken up the challenge of swallowing this 17th century chapel whole and has been hard at work for decades. Please wish him luck on his muckbang challenge
I am a Portuguese speaking gringo (my parents and the rest family are Brazilian), and these are some pictures from my travels through Amazonas. Particularly near Manaus and further up north on the Rio Solimões and Rio Negro where my family and I stayed at a Pousada
Spend 5 days on the river where we spent our time bird and animal watching, fishing, and exploring nature with the help of our tour guide
Additionally we traveled around the small villages and towns, getting to meet the wonderful people who call this place home
Truly one of the best experiences I have been able to partake in life
Banyan Tree growing on Chapel from long gone days
Hi l am just going traveling through Brazil this summer. Although my family is from Brazil grew up and was born in the United States. Despite learning and knowing Portuguese, am absolutely a tourist. just wanted to share the Banyan tree covering this church, which I think is the lgreja de Bom Jesus de Matozihnos. Absolutely breathtaking sight to see, but was just wondering the story behind it. What I've skimmed across online is a rather short description, but just wanted to know if any locals or people who know the chapel's and the tree's story

I've lived in the US for the majority of my life, but both my parents are carioca (born in the city of Rio), and so I have inherited some of that culture. My mom was part of a Flamengo household, while my dad grew up as a much larger and I guess you could say fanatical Botafogo fan. They were born in the 1960s-1970s so they experienced mostly the 80s and 90s of their respective teams. Considering I myself was born much later and haven't really done my due diligence when it comes to looking into their past games I guess I don't really know what kind of story or cultures either of those clubs have. I went botafogo by default and do have a couple kit tops, but I'd like to at least be a little educated in what types of clubs I'm getting into. If any of you have any stories to share or anywhere to point to, to learn more I would be happy to hear
