In Chão do Rio – turismo de aldeia, we live a time out of time, the time of the simple things. Here the magic is felt among the mighty oaks, the strange animal tracks, or at the “mushroom forest” that apears after each rain ... The houses seem to have always been there and that we just have gave them the form they already had before we could see them ... Here the eyes open themselves widely with amazement and close themselves so that we can hear better the laughter of the children playing freely ... or just to find peace inside...
