Name of Shop: Emporio Tropical
In the Emporio Tropical, which is in the Chacara Tropical, you will find objects elaborated by Brazilian handicraft experts who enrich popular art. The wood and other raw materials taken from nature pass through the able hands of these artists and are transformed into beautiful works of art.
What To Buy: Hard to say... The wood and clay pieces are my favourites, but everything else is great. Pay special attention to the chairs and benches - very beautiful work.
