The Project works Valles design a creative and harmonious relationship between human beings and nature. Seeks to demonstrate the importance of conservation and protection of one of nature's most significant temples in southern Brazil which is the Serra Geral. There are so many natural beauties of flora, fauna, mountains, geological formations, clear waters and numerous weather events in this transition region between the coast and highlands. This project focuses on the potential stream of leisure and contemplation of the beauty of the Serra Geral, as a source of creativity, inspiration and pursuit of self-knowledge. Using images and reports can lead children, youth and adults on a fascinating journey through the enchanted world of the wisdom of Mother Earth. In this sense the Valles is using cutting-edge technological resources, photography and computers, to bring as many people as possible a message of love for Serra Geral. Showing that when we respect nature and the flow then we have an inexhaustible source of food, generating joy and strength of our being. Much we can learn from nature, so our main purpose is to make each person "to seek in nature the expression of your true self."
