Cangaço Route! - School Trip!

A record of collective experiences.

That fifth was the differential, everyone knew what we would do, but we did not understand the feelings and experiences that would bring us, the happiness and the tiresome moments, and also the diseases and photographs.

Searching for the route

 

First we had the meeting of the classes, the bus trip was exciting, but nothing beats the entrance to Francisco. Not only we (the computer course) in the photos, who were there were the "Mariana's 3rd year students", the "IFBA students", the new generation of the world. We entered a boat to cross the Catamaran, adding that there was also a couple on board, during the trip many took to bathe in a type of pool that was in the center of the boat.

Upon arriving on dry land, we were warmly welcomed by the guides, and the other employees. We settled in and started the walk. Amid the dangerous paths and beautiful landscapes, there were signs not only signaling the distance to the point of historical explanation, but also plaques with names of plants and games, very dynamic.

Fisrt point stop.

The guide was only beginning to tell the story when we were all together, which was a little painful since some were sick and others with thorns on their heels.

When we arrived at the main point of the route, where the bodies of the cangaceiros should be, we all sat on stones and on the ground, certainly tired, not to the point of having no energy, only to the point of a pause even to think of what we would be like on Friday in the morning to present papers or even the next day's tests.

A little time for a story and a rest.

A little friend came to say hi

Why did I mention "where should bodies be"? Well, is that as we explained the guide, they left there long ago, were not found after the massacre of Lampião. It was certain that they died, but they were not buried there, not even the pigeons "Maria Bonita and Lampião".

Some members of the FubIIwar game.

In short, the place is a point where there was the event, where it was memorable and where it should have finished the cangaço. We also took pictures there, why would not we? Tourist spot! And they were very good!

After the explanation and section of photos in the death place of the biggest names of cangaceiros,the guide freed everyone if they wanted to, back on the trail to enjoy the games (such as climbing, or swimming to a certain extent on the catamaran). And that's what we did. We eat, and we play. Even the majority did not buy food there, used the food they took, which was not allowed.

Remember what I said? (pff, this guys don't care)

They really enjoy everthing.

"Wow, something is coming out of the water!"

In the time we had left over from this wonderful afternoon, we took pictures and talked, swam, climbed, fell, tired and already mentioned taking photos? In the end we organized our things and with a sad goodbye, we left for the return boat, this time more people joined the pool, others took a tan.

Before go, still all together

When I say that we organize our things, I exclude a certain being who forgot his cell phone in the eco park ("Oops"). We were only notified that the cell phone had been left when we were in the boat in the water. The park staff handed the cell phone to the owner and we continued our journey.

Funny fact:

Coming ashore again, from the same mini-port from which we had departed, there was a funny undertaking. Most had already dried up and put their clothes and shoes on the dry school bus, but the bridge linking the mini port with the earth had fallen, only three steps, which made a big difference.

Some had to climb a bare 'ramp', not a clean 'ramp', a 'ramp' with lawns and thorns. It was fun to see the pain of others, even when the thorn reached his foot. With everyone on the bus, we returned to Paulo Afonso, most of them dying or hungry or sleepy and both tired, so there were people who took a nap, unfortunately (for those who woke up drooling) others noticed and took pictures. We arrived at the college tired, a little more knowledgeable about Brazilian history (of the cangaceiros) and satisfied with the trip, with the jokes and food, also the expectations.

Here we are! Second home, not so sweet IFBA.

Unfortunately some students were unable to stand firm until the end of the week and could not attend on Friday because of flu / colds. Of photos, the majority is of the trip and of the stay, not of the return, for reasons of fatigue.

Delight yourself with a bit of what we were able to capture in all these photos.

Third years Students

And that's all! We hope that you enjoy ours photos and experiences!

Note: The couple accompanied us the whole trip, the route and the catamaran.
