Happiness at all times

Our stay in Rio de Janeiro was undoubtedly beautiful thanks to the patience of Haroldo and his wife. Incredible photos and places that remain in my memory forever. Their kindness and dedication is noteworthy. We missed the Pedra da Gávea experience due to the bad weather 😞. But without a doubt we will return ❣️

Spectacular Pedra de Gavea

The entire excursion with Haroldo was excellent. We went up to the Pedra de Gavea, a beautiful place. Haroldo is very kind, he respects people's times. The photos he took of us are spectacular. Super recommended. If I return to Rio, I would definitely like to do another trilha with him.
