After passing through Brazil from north to south to meet various stakeholders in the sector of Brazilian production of organic fair Envao, the riders and Yvan Quilfen and Fabienne d'Ortoli landed in the mythical city of Rio de Janeiro.
Some days before Carnival, the "Cidade Maravilhosa" allowed the team on the sound of samba blocos.
Locally, Fabienne and Yvan have met the carioca surfer Marcelo Bispo, who made them discover his favorite spots (Arpoador, Barra da Tijuca, Prainha) and told them his story, that of a boy born in a favela for whom surfing was the way out. Now installed in the famous district of Copacabana with his wife and little girl's,the life of Marcelo is a dream: surfing in the morning, noon and evening on the beautiful beaches of the State of Rio!
