(Translated by Google) On a sunny morning, I embarked on an unforgettable adventure in the Mata de Mussaíba Ecological Reserve, located in the municipality of Jaboatão de Guararapes. With its vast 272.2 hectares, this Wildlife Refuge, designated as an Ecological Reserve since 1987, has proven to be a true natural treasure. The trail started near Floriano station, providing an easy and inviting entrance to the heart of this ecological sanctuary. The exuberant vegetation, characteristic of the Atlantic Forest, surrounded us with its diversity, each step revealing new forms of life. I was captivated by the serenity of the environment, guided by the gentle murmur of the Mussaiba River, which is part of the watershed of this precious preservation area. In 2011, legislation adapted to the importance of preservation, recategorizing the reserve as a Wildlife Refuge. This change, regulated by Law No. 14,324, reflects the commitment to align with the guidelines of the State System of Conservation Units. During the trail, the feeling of being immersed in such a vital ecosystem became evident. The preservation of the hydrographic system proved to be a fundamental criterion, highlighting the responsibility to protect not only biological diversity, but also the integrity of water resources. Every step was enriched by sightings of rare birds, exotic flora and the constant melody of nature. By reaching strategic points, such as natural viewpoints, I was able to contemplate the grandeur of this reserve, a true sanctuary for biodiversity. My experience at the Mata de Mussaíba Ecological Reserve was more than just a trail; it was an immersion in the harmony between preservation and natural beauty. This refuge is a living testimony of the commitment to protecting our environmental heritage, providing visitors not just a tour, but a deep connection with the essence of the Atlantic Forest.

A vegetação exuberante, característica da Mata Atlântica, envolveu-nos com sua diversidade, cada passo revelando novas formas de vida.

Este refúgio é um testemunho vivo do comprometimento em proteger nosso patrimônio ambiental, proporcionando aos visitantes não apenas um passeio, mas uma conexão profunda com a essência da Mata Atlântica.

(Translated by Google) In a historic corner of Pernambuco, stood the majestic Church of the Rosary of the Black Men in Muribeca dos Guararapes. At the height of the 16th century, this sugar mill town, with its 20 mills, witnessed the vibrant presence of African slave labor. Between different languages ​​and particular beliefs, the brotherhoods of the Rosary of Black Men were born, resisting slavery. These brotherhoods, expressions of freedom and cultural resistance, built, even with limited resources, rich and ornate churches. The coronation of King Congo, part of the festivities of Our Lady of the Rosary, echoed African rituals, a precursor to Maracatu. The fearless spirit of these men and women reverberates in the ruins of the church, testimony to their devotion and fight for freedom. Today, a special invitation echoes through the centuries. Join the Trilha dos Engenhos de Jaboatão dos Guararapes, guided by our friend Henrique, to explore these fascinating stories. Experience adventures and environmental education as we follow the paths that connect the past to the present. Take part in the largest dog trail in Pernambuco and feel the unique energy of this place. Here the immortal Spirit of Guararapes reigns. 🍃 (Original) Em um rincão histórico de Pernambuco, erguia-se a majestosa Igreja do Rosário dos Homens Pretos em Muribeca dos Guararapes. No auge do século XVI, este povoado açucareiro, com seus 20 engenhos, testemunhava a presença vibrante da mão de obra escrava africana. Entre línguas diversas e crenças particulares, nasceram as irmandades do Rosário dos Homens Pretos, resistindo à escravidão. Essas irmandades, expressões de liberdade e resistência cultural, construíram, mesmo com recursos limitados, igrejas ricas e ornamentadas. A coroação do Rei Congo, parte das festas de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, ecoava rituais africanos, precursora do Maracatu. O espírito destemido desses homens e mulheres reverbera nas ruínas da igreja, testemunho de sua devoção e luta por liberdade. Hoje, um convite especial ecoa através dos séculos. Junte-se à Trilha dos Engenhos de Jaboatão dos Guararapes, guiada por nosso amigo Henrique, para explorar essas histórias fascinantes.
