Brazil, a dream country! Sixteen times the surface of France. My journey in November, 2015 incites me to explore the region of Minas Gerais. This region is considered for its ground “rich” in ores of all kinds of precious stones, of some iron, of some bauxite, of some manganese, cobalt, mercury, uranium… and of the ouro! Some GOLD.
There, if we had to find ONE of these rare ores, we move mountains. Then, we dig in bowels of the Earth to extract this wealth from it.
This is how we can discover a region, which is in some places, totally ravaged by the hand of the Man!
