Nothing like a little walk. You don't have to go too far to feel the voluptuousness that emanates from the human senses. Because in a single point of the hemisphere, in a few square meters, the journey transports the soul to all corners of the vast universe.
From a forest in Patagonia to the lost ruins of an ancient town, they are enough to capture the beauty and sublime of a trip.
Impulses play in the air operating in such a way that they abandon their form and their spirit… Evolution... Transformation. Wings and roots.
Inside the tree the sap continues to flow and beneath the ground the roots are still strong. Its hard bark is marked and burned. It has endured the flames and the power of rebirth still exists. Cross the threshold of this world and eliminate the fear of the unforeseen.
