Presentation
"Fruturos - Amazonian Times"
We love the Amazon as there are so many Amazons.
The beautiful lives and so much diversity that are part of them.
The magnificent beauties and uniqueness of its many landscapes.
The wisdom and cultures of the peoples who inhabit them.
It awakens in our spirit a giant nature that has resisted and still resists the destroying thrust of a time when we saw the forest as a storehouse of treasures yet to be discovered and ransacked, a jungle to be domesticated and disappeared.
