Our customers always have the opportunity and are encouraged to try some physical activity during their trip. The idea is that they have contact with activities that encourage new forms of mobility and lifestyle.
Although working with various national and international destinations, we are pioneers in operating tours by the coastal area of Paraná and we have extensive knowledge and experience in the South.
Traveling is a fantastic opportunity for transformation, which brings new perspectives, insights, discoveries, experiences and learnings. These elements stimulate and enable people to peel off from what doesn’t serve anymore and bring the new into their lives.
We are always studying ways of impacting the communities of the destinations we offer in a positive way with our tours.
We always try to identify key people in the communities of the offered destinations to provide local experiences with art, crafts, food, music and gastronomy.
For us small details make the difference. That is why we are always monitoring the quality of our services and destinations. Our tours are carefully prepared by experienced professionals who love to travel, which have explored intensely particular destinations in search of best practices and are always looking for new ideas to provide a unique experience to each customer.
Our employees need to be satisfied, happy and being well rewarded to act as brand ambassadors. Our core elements are: training, participative management, health safety and happy work environment.
We map the conservation projects that exist at the offered destinations to support them in any way.
We also look for local partners that are implementing or already have a sustainable policies plan to their business.
Life in the cities conducts us to an accelerated and focused pace - between tasks and goals - in external elements. Time is short for an inner look, attentive to the recreational needs and opportunities to explore and try new things. Therefore Gondwana intends to lift people out of inertia and put them into spaces and movements that allow full presence and surrender.
These situations provide contact with limits, awakening primitive sensations – sometimes unaware to the big cities - and memories of a simpler life in contact with something bigger.
The International relations have always interested me: different languages, economy, culture or landscapes being connected. Knowing is necessary! Traveling is necessary! And only by traveling can we really immerse ourselves in other worlds. That's why I chose to study Tourism and International Relations - to get the chance to relate myself to the world!
“I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling.” ― Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
"There are three things that remain: The certainty that we are always beginning ... The certainty that we must continue ... The certainty that we will be interrupted before ending ... Therefore, we must: Make the interruption a new path. .. From the fall, a step of dance ... From fear, a ladder ... From the dream, a bridge .. From the search, an encounter ... "(Fernando Pessoa)
“Do what the locals do! At a glance, I am always keen to learn about places and their cultures and explore them with the locals; because I think that they are the real experts of their home no matter how often we look at the guide book in our suitcase or backpack. My philosophy is to go out and listen to them, be interested in their life, hang out with them and eventually gain authenticity”
Every journey is a great dream, but traveling to Iguassu Falls is the greatest achievement !
A cross-cultural explorer passionate about languages and nature, I love to create and facilitate connections that helps us enjoy life and relationships, prosper and discover our true identity. This sentence from the anthropologist Edward T. Hall is the perfect translation of how I feel about travelling: "The best reason for exposing oneself to foreign ways is to generate a sense of vitality and awareness - an interest in life which can come only when one lives through the shock of contrast and difference
Every trip is a discovery and we search to organise tours that allow everyone to make the most of the opportunities of exploration of nature and local culture, living the present moment, personal development and self learning.
Born in Curitiba with a degree in Hospitality and Events. Future tourism specialist and and adventurer at heart. Still unaware of the best way of being happy other than travelling and going to the mountains.
“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences and there is no greater happiness than a changing horizon, each day with a new and different sun.” (MCCANDLES, Chirstopher)

Recently settled in Brazil I come from Paris where I grew up, studied and lived practically all my life. In general, I like to learn: languages, cultures, getting to know one another. Tourism is new to me, but I feel like I am going to enjoy it so much because it is humanly rewarding, and also because I will certainly get to know better this fabulous country. Delighted to take up new challenges and join Gondwana Brasil team!
