Rafael is a native of São Bento do Sapucaí, and the space offered to guests is the house where he grew up. The youngest of 7 siblings, he loves to travel, engage in motorcycle and ecological trails, and has survival experience from his 5 years in the army. He is very fond of animals and loves music. Rafael plays the viola-caipira, which is a flok Brazilian instrument, and never turns down a good conversation. Renata is from São Paulo, lived many years outside of Brazil, and upon returning, she met Rafael. Out of love, she decided to change her life and left the big city to discover the wonders of the place that is now the Inn. She loves meeting people and exchanging ideas. Renata adores animals, dancing, and listening to good music; she's incredibly fun. She doesn't shy away from sports and adventures.
