I'm Cláudia Pontes Melo, married to Carlos Eduardo Silva, known as Cadu. He is a photographer; I'm an engineer. Lovers of nature and in love with Trancoso, we made our first trip in 2009: Caraíva, Trancoso and Arraial, simply unforgettable. From then on we never left the region again: the air, the breeze, the lush foliage, the welcoming people, the energy, the sloths, the scent… and, of course, the sea — sea of Trancoso, woods of Arraial, sky of Caraíva. We began searching for land in the region, and the dream became house and garden. GungaLilin is still a work in progress, and it still enchants us. The garden and the house bring back, with tenderness, the inspiration of the children Gunga and Lilin. At your service.
The images here belong to the house, except for the identified species photographs credited in the gallery.
