Kalunga

Chapada dos Veadeiros is a land where earth, water, and sky intertwine in an infinite flow of connection.

This photographic series was born from an immersion in that landscape, inspired by a visit to Quilombo Kalunga—the largest quilombola community in Brazil. A place rich in history, where traditions, customs, and a way of life are preserved and passed down through generations.

It was also within Kalunga territory that I discovered one of the most breathtaking waterfalls I’ve ever seen: Santa Bárbara Waterfall. A true natural spectacle, with turquoise-blue waters so clear they seem unreal—an irresistible invitation to dive in and forget about time.
