Country Dining in Águas da Prata
A few kilometers outside the town there is a delightful restaurant in the forest called Caminho da Serra or more familiarly, Arvorismo. It is a restaurant and an outdoor sport center with young people riding the wires from tree to tree. They also have a well stocked fishing pond that the kids love.
The restaurant is nestled in a sylvan setting beside a quiet lake.
It is a pleasant restaurant with home-made cooking on a wood stove.
The locale is quite beautiful.
Dining beside the lake is a wonderful experience.
The serving staff are courteous and helpful.
The chef is excellent and cooks your food as it is ordered.
The chef, Rodriguez, hard at work grilling beef and pork.

The salad bar again.
Egg plant with onions and zuccini.
Broccoli, fried sweet potatoes.
Flour mix and fried bacon rinds.
For dessert there was a choice of a sweet banana dish with cheese, or jello or fruit salad.
Urso Branco enjoyed a tiny Brasilian coffee. *SMILE*
The outdoor Sport Adventure part of the visit.
As we are dining the young people ride the wire out of the forest, over the lake past the diners.
This looks like quite an adventure. If only I was 30 years younger . . . . . . .
This young girl came flying out of the forest.
But she was not heavy enough to reach the end so she had to pull herself to the finish.
When she reached the end she had to walk across this bridge.
Our guest, Diana Pereira outfitted to ride the wire.
They have a similar experience for kids. Here they are getting ready.
The sister and brother are ready to fly. Notice the safety gear. Everything is done safely here.
They climb the tower with an attendant to guide them. He hooks them to the wire.
First, the young girl comes flying down the wire.
A man is waiting at the end to unhoook her.
Then her brother flies down the wire.
He now must be unhooked.
Look at the happy smile on the flyer as Dad and the attendant unhook him.
We went back another day with the Grandkids. Marilim, the proprietor, watches the preparations.
Three year old Felipe is ready to fly! He has more courage than I do!
Alexandre, Carolina and Felipe are all ready to fly!
Carolina, 7 years old, flies down the wire.
Alexandre, 6 Year old, had a great ride too.
The star for the day was Felipe, 3 years old!
This is a fabuolous experience for the kids. The really love this place.
They have a well stocked pond for visitors for fishing. The young folks are thrilled with it.
They even catch good sized fish.
How exciting! Ricardo holds up the fish the kid caught.
This is the Arvorismo tour buggy. Nice eh?
