ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Marce&Rapha
We are an adventurous couple, driven by the insatiable desire to explore and to immerse ourselves in the wild beauty of the places we go to. For us, this travel guide is not just about documenting our experiences, but a call to fellow adventurers to join us in a collective celebration of nature's wonders. We invite you to step out of your comfort zone, to feel the earth beneath your feet, to taste the freshness of the sea breeze, and to immerse yourself in the natural world.
Our shared journey isn't just about discovering places; it's about uncovering the essence of life itself. It's about feeling alive, connecting with nature, and savoring the moments that make us human. It's about sharing our worldview with kindred spirits, beckoning you to see the world through our eyes. So, if you've ever dreamed of escaping the ordinary, of diving into crystal-clear waters, of basking under the starry skies, or of hiking along the most scenic trails, then join us on this adventure. Together, we'll create unforgettable memories, one wild place at a time.
We begin this journey in Portugal, the country we both chose as our home before we became a home to each other, with its rugged Atlantic coastline, lush forests, and picturesque landscapes. I've spent my entire life on the Atlantic Coast, coming from Rio, Brazil, where the South Atlantic has always been a big part of my life. Rapha, on the other hand, spent his holidays in Quiberon, a little peninsula on the wild French coast of the North Atlantic. We finally met in Portugal, almost as if the Atlantic Ocean was calling for this union.
In these pages, you will find a curated collection of Portugal's most precious and hidden treasures, each destination brimming with its own unique charm. Whether you're an experienced outdoor enthusiast or a novice eager to embrace the wild, we've crafted this booklet to inspire and guide you, providing a glimpse into the breathtaking corners of our world.
Let the journey beging!
