A Trip Back inTime
Going to Cambuquira is like traveling through a time machine, taking us to a Brazil (and a world) of 60 or 70 years ago, when society was not yet consumerist, stressed, violent and as alienating as the current one.
It is rather about living natural, human and humanistic values; it is about BEING, with no worries of any kind.
If we use the eyes of the spirit and intuition, we will see Tarsila do Amaral, Menoti del Pichia, Oswald de Andrade and many others walking by the place.
Origin of the Name Cambuquira
From Tupi Guarani Caà-ambyquira, Cambuquira means pumpkin buds or germs, used as a genuinely Brazilian delicacy
Cambuquira was a farm called Boa Vista, part of Campanha municipality, with its manor house located where Hotel São Francisco is found today. It belonged to three sisters: Ana, Joana and Francisca da Silva Gularte, who bequeathed their land to former slaves.
