Ilustrations: Gabriel de Azevedo
Like a prism, each chapter brings a unique shade to the country’s rich natural and cultural diversity while introducing our members: Xodós of Brazil.
In shades of green, blue, gold, or white, you’ll discover Brazilian treasures waiting to be enjoyed at your own pace, preferably while you swing in a hammock.
Happy reading. Enjoy the journey!
