Chão do Rio Family

It all began with a passion for a place discovered by chance (Chão do Rio) by a passionate couple that today is a family…

Coming from urban lives, but in love with nature and with rurality living in the childhood memory, was in Chão do Rio, at Travancinha, in 2001, that the couple found a place that makes them feel complete, where smiles come from inside and happiness happens in the simple things of life, like planting a tree.

There they created the roots that they didn’t have and there they dream of coming to live one day!
