Regarding the language, we would like to advert that the tour is in Portuguese with the assistance of a guide interpreter. The tour is conducted by local community guides which has their own way of expressing themselves. The language (like other elements such as music, dance, beliefs, customs and traditions) is an integral part of the cultural identity of a territory and of a community. The assistance of a guide interpreter does not represent a simultaneous interpretation. We do not intend to interpret everything that is said in one language to another, but to inform on some key points for the overall understanding of the tour and clarifying all the issues / concerns of foreign tourists. We're focused on assure that the tourist will experience the spirit of the community and get the feeling... listening, watching, contacting…being part of the whole thing.
