For those of you who take photography seriously, we have carefully
researched and developed a unique experience. Join us in a
Photo Safari with the best brazilian nature photographer.
Araquém Alcântara, 51 years old and presently considered the
most prestigious photographers of Brazilian nature.
His books are the first ones to show visual images of Brazil's
national parks, becoming a reference for other photographers,
students and travelers who expose themselves to the ecological
adventure this amazing country has to offer.
Araquém is the first Brazilian photographer to systematically
record the Brazilian Ecosystems. During his last 30 years
of his carrier, he has accomplished several expeditions where
he has managed to gather important information, together with
photographs about the fauna and flora of this country. His
pictures reach different parts of the world through publications
and reports such as National Geographic, Viajes, Geo and Vacances.
During his career he has published 11 environmental books,
18 co-authored books, won 3 international and 33 national
prizes, accomplished 55 individual and 19 collectives expositions,
worked together with UNESCO, UNICEF, World Life Foundation,
Conservation International, Greenpeace and Rain Forest.
His collective and individual expositions took place in several
cities around the world: New York, Tokyo, Porto, Zurich, Mexico
City, Bogotá and Cuba. This includes the "Le Brésil des Bresiliens",
in the Cultural Center Georges Pompidou, in Paris, and "Terra
Brasil" at Canning House Gallery, in London, which was inaugurated
by the Brazilian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso.

As Araquém said " To know the Brazilian Nature though photography
gives the opportunity to evoke feelings that can be translated
in practical attitudes of preservation of these precious ecosystems…
to show its exuberant views, the generosity of its fauna and
flora, its subtleness and the relation with its inhabitants
and their environment is above all to learn how to respect and
celebrate one unique biological patrimony".
Due
to the high demand for this custom-made package, we require
travelers to send their request for our destinations with a
minimum of two months in advance. Small groups of six to eight
people are formed in order to maintain exclusivity and personalized
service. |
