JULY/2025

A little about this wonderful destination.

  • Easy trail to the camp

 

  • Photography workshop (for all ages)

A weekend to disconnect from the world and reconnect with those who matter.

 

Imagine spending two days in the mountains, surrounded by nature, experiencing moments of adventure, contemplation and affection alongside your child. This is the proposal of Conexão nas Alturas, an unforgettable photographic experience held at the charming Baú Base Camp, in São Bento do Sapucaí (SP) — one of the most inspiring settings in the Serra da Mantiqueira.

 

Over the course of a weekend, parents and children share light trails, creative workshops, supervised climbing, conversation circles and connection dynamics, all of this surrounded by stunning landscapes and photographic records that will immortalize every moment.

 

Photography here is more than just technique — it is an invitation to look at the world with more sensitivity and, above all, to look at each other with more presence and love.

 

  • Mountains, nature and freedom : A weekend surrounded by inspiring landscapes in the heart of Serra da Mantiqueira.

  • Digital disconnection, real reconnection : Away from screens, close to those who matter — more presence, more listening, more love.

  • Photography with purpose : Learn to observe, feel and record the world around you with sensitivity.

  • Shared adventure : Light and supervised climbing that challenges and unites parents and children with excitement and overcoming.

  • Moments that become stories : Campfire circles, connection dynamics and sharing that strengthen bonds.

  • Transformative experience : Go out differently. Lighter. Closer. More present.

  • Exclusive base camp : Safe and welcoming structure in the heart of São Bento do Sapucaí, with everything ready to welcome you.

  • Specialized team : Guides, monitors and photographers prepared to create an unforgettable experience.
