Nicole Barreto is a base jumper who lives at the foot of the iconic Pedra da Gávea mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After hundreds of climbs to practice the base jump, Nicole developed a connection with the mountain and its forest, considered by many to be a mystical mountain. With striking photography and an intimate narrative, Nicole shares her feelings and all the wisdom taught by the mountain, reflecting on how small we are in the face of nature.
