The Brazilian barbeque red shop Vento Haragano in Sao Paulo has subverted my intrinsic impression of Brazilian barbecue! It turns out that the real Brazilian rotisserie is divided into a variety of meats, and the Brazilians have a sense of rituals when they eat meat. The dozens of waiters in the store will carry different kinds of barbecues and take turns to cut meat for you. Everyone There are two small round cards on the table. The red face up means that you don't need to come back again when you are full. The green face up means you continue to have meat. The taste of almost every meat is quite good! There is a row of fresh salad cheeses in the store that can be self-selected. There are also small meals before the table, but don't be fooled by these little favors. Just eat meat, hahaha... Eat a meal of three or four hundred yuan per person, the price is still available, eat a lot of great beef and pork, and some are 18 hours of slow-boiled top beef. This store is very famous in So Paulo, and it is also a Michelin recommended restaurant. Many locals come to eat, almost packed, and it is strongly recommended to go to St. Paul's old words to try it [glutton]

"I've seen heavy rain in the desert" 💧🖖 After visiting so many countries around the world, I still consider this the hardest place to reach on Earth~ During the rainy season from January to June in Brazil, there are almost daily intense storms here. The rainwater is not swallowed by the yellow sand but accumulates in the gullies of the sand dunes, forming a series of lagoons. The water is clear, and its color depends on the sky—sometimes bright blue, sometimes a deep turquoise green, and at sunset, it is gilded with golden hues. Recommended travel time is from late June to late August (end of rainy season to start of dry season). Depart from São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, then take a connecting flight to São Luís in Maranhão state, followed by a 4-hour bus ride plus a 1.5-hour 4WD drive to enter the heart of the national park through the sand. Independent travel is not possible here; you must join a tour group to enter this mysterious place that defies all common perceptions. Brazil · South America
