Parede and Chapada dos Veadeiros offer tranquil travel and wellness alternatives

The village of Parede in Portugal offers a quieter alternative to the crowded beaches of Cascais. Located approximately 30 minutes from Lisbon via the Cascais train line, Parede features the Praia da Parede, characterized by limestone rocks and natural pools. The nearby Avencas Marine Protected Area provides a biodiverse environment for snorkeling, though visitors are advised to respect local environmental regulations.

In Brazil, Marinice Vieira, president of the Associação de Terapeutas da Chapada dos Veadeiros, provides integrative therapy and spiritual retreats in Alto Paraíso de Goiás. Her work focuses on wellness and self-knowledge through practices such as Reiki, quantum healing, and tarot readings, utilizing the natural landscape of the Chapada dos Veadeiros to facilitate reconnection and personal growth.
