- Dear Mr. Rohmer Our feed-back on the São Joaquim Adventure Tail organized by Riding Brazil HorseBack Adventures is, in summary, very positive. The weather was ideal, which was apparently a stroke of luck, as the weather reports after our stay showed slightly wetter forecasts. Pick-up and drop-off in Florianopolis by Hendrik Fendel worked perfectly, as the entire stay was well organized. Hendrik's knowledge of German was of particular benefit to me, who only spoke minimal Portuguese. The various accommodations were always in a cozy and family environment. The selection of trails was well made taking into consideration both difficulty and scenic variety. They were authentic and not especially prepared for tourists. The terrain of the routes offered everything but desert sand and snow. The incredible toughness, sure-footedness, fearlessness and willingness of the hoofed animals left a lasting impression on us and this performance was probably the most important basis for the success of the this horseback adventure with Riding Brazil. Elvio, the trail boss, who obviously does not belong to the GPS-affine generation, amazed us with his incredible sense of direction and time. His skills as a fire maker and coffee brewer in the open borders magic and need to be specially praised. We consider ourselves lucky that we were able to enjoy this riding program despite the generally unfavourable situation at the moment and are taking lasting memories to Europe with us. Warm regards and all the best for the whole team! Irene Giner-Reichl and Reinhard Giner February 2022
