The First Mini-Expedition

After the epic saga that was to get Tanajura in the last minute, in the middle of a pre-holiday Friday , there we were embarking on our mini-expedition! The team would be complete if Bruno was not traveling around Europe. The destination was Serra da Canatra - MG, where the so expected III Camping's World Meeting would happen. Since we acquired our automotive tent , we were waiting anxiously for the holiday to come. The meeting was the perfect opportunity to know other adventurers and gain road and camping experience . In a certain way, that would be a sample of what was waiting for us in the coming months, when we definitely get on the road . We could not wait to put Tana in the mud, use her 4WD×4 and see if she really could stand the challenge. We were also extremely curious about how it would to sleep above the car, with three grown men dividing the same tent.

The balance of the trip could not be more positive! Serra da Canastra is wonderful! Even with the rain that insisted to follow us, landscapes were still breathtaking. Not to mention the thrill it was to see the source of the Velho Chico closely. We had that taste of freedom that is traveling by car and have the option to explore and understand where. The first stop on the way was the Furnas hydroelectric. After, stopped in front of the beautiful landscape of canyons Capitol, before heading to the meeting.

Overall, we were very positively surprised by Tana, by the Camping's World tent as well and even more by the Meeting! But even more impressive was how we were amateurs when the subject is camping. Do not take a lantern to the woods was the best evidence of how we still had much to learn! I learn quite! The fellowship with other adventurers in the Serra da Canastra was extremely productive in all aspects. Observe the items they carried with them, how they were setting up their tents, and heard their life stories. An unique learning! The lifestyle in the campsite was very interesting! There is no way to measure the value of this exchange of experiences and feelings of solidarity with fellow road! We feel we mature enough after the meeting and left even more motivated and prepared to touch the boat, with Tana, the car in front!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that shared a little bit of experience with us during the Meeting, particularly the Amandio and your family (ViajandoNos4x4), for your attention and patience with all our questions and Douglas and Ilka, from Camping’s World, who organized the event very well and were always willing to help and contribute for everything to go right! Thank you very much, personal!
