Casa Amarela

TIME : 2016/2/19 14:43:55

Relatively unknown and blissfully uncrowded, this unassuming yellow home is part NGO handicraft shop, part two-table romantic cafe and part tiny museum boasting one the world's best collection of artifacts from Irmãos Villas-Bôas, a three-brother Brazilian activist team who were the first white men to ever come in contact with upper Xingu river indigenous communities of the Amazon.

They were responsible for the preservation of South America's first indigenous reserve, Parque Indígena do Xingu, in 1961.
