Pedro and July are the founders of Praia Rica Expedições and our partners in Tocantins, a reference in conscious, award-winning, and territory-rooted tourism
With over 20 years of experience in the state, they offer guided experiences led by native professionals with academic backgrounds, combining technical knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and a deep connection to the region. Their itineraries prioritise counterflow strategies, avoiding crowds and providing more authentic and peaceful experiences.
Their work goes beyond tourism. Pedro and July are committed to community development, actively participating in local councils and initiatives. They have collaborated on events such as the Fartura Quilombo Baking Workshop in the Quilombola Community of Prata and regularly promote playful and educational activities for children in traditional communities.
With a strong environmental commitment, they develop native species reforestation projects in degraded areas, actively contributing to the recovery of the biome. They are also signatories of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism, pledging to cut their carbon emissions by half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
This dedication to excellence and sustainability earned Praia Rica the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award in both 2022 and 2023, a spontaneous recognition from the public for the quality of the experiences they offer.
