Pousada Atelier Aly da Costa

I am Aly, this is my home, my art studio and also a guesthouse! My proposal is to share life and my experience of about 30 years in Vale do Ribeira. Always working with traditional Caiçaras, quilombola, Indigenous communities and in the search for creating sustainable alternatives for the dignity of life and harmony with the environment. I aim with my space to share this experience with visitors; this is a place of renewal. I practice Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism and I strive to improve myself every day, I practice daily and I want to share this wonderful practice.

Harmony, peace, culture and education are the guiding lines of my home\'s proposal. We are in the middle of the largest continuous area of preserved Atlantic Forest, Lagamar is the cradle of the Atlantic and nature and exuberance are not lacking here.
I also have plenty of work!!! Haha, good opportunities to exchange lived experiences and still much to learn.
I lived more than 10 years "in the bush", actually it was in the "forest" and I had the opportunity to reinvent myself countless times.
I want to share my experience and make my house an even more delicious place with the collaboration of visitors who help keep it increasingly beautiful and well cared for.
If that\'s what you\'re looking for, come along and along the way I\'ll explain more!

I hope you feel like a member of the family. My parents live here, my sister too. Art, culture, ecotourism, education and the dignity of life guide our life proposal. Exchanges are the best ways to share life. A more just society is built with the heart! We have a lot of work here, however, there are grand opportunities for us to forge ourselves as more humane citizens and to be committed to one another. We are waiting for you like parents who miss their children! So, shall we exchange this good energy? I\'m waiting for you. Nam myoho renge kyo Aly da Costa
