While participating in forest fire prevention and combat training in Barra do Ribeiro, I had the opportunity to visit Praia da Picada. It's a truly picturesque place, with a unique charm. I heard about Toco, a dog who seems to be more like a fish in a dog's body, as he absolutely adores the water. It's definitely worth experiencing firsthand!
