Vale da Lua - vally of the moon
The old and the new, the provincial and the cosmopolitan, high-tech
and handicrafts all mingle in Alto Paraiso, where a multi-dimensional
reality reigns.
One can feel the flavor of the plantations visiting
the villas and rural communities, which many visitors prefer to do on
a mountain bike. You may also practice rappel in the age-old
waterfalls or meditate in temples that resemble space ships.
Known as the oldest haven in Brazil, nowadays the avant-garde of
international tourism brings with it a legacy of people
seeking harmony with nature, externally as well as internally.
While environmentalists have dubbed the Cerrado the Cradle of the
Waters, Alto Paraiso is known by mystics as the Cradle of the New Age,
containing the highest peak in the Central Plateau at Serra do Pouso
Alto, located approximately on the l4th parallel.
Ever since the Eighties, Alto Paraiso has encompassed
a heterogeneous population within the waves of settlers from other
states and countries.
As a whole, they come seeking a more natural
lifestyle focusing on interior growth and the establishment of a new
paradigm for social organization.
Artists, crafts people, ecologists,
therapists, mystics, and a motley variety of professionals have come
in the wake of these ideals.
The region offers a wide array of
services and activities geared towards healing, the arts, culture,
personal growth, the spiritual path, and environmental preservation.
Alto Paraiso shows its many faces as a center for ecotourism, a mystical
haven, an artistic and cultural workshop, as well as a vast naturalist
spa.
