Marta Dalla Chiesa

Marta is the co-owner of Brazil Ecojourneys and Managing Director. She was born in the mountain region of Rio Grande do Sul,  in South Brazil. With a science background, she moved to London in the 90’s to pursue her PhD studies and, with the many travelling opportunities that were presented she found a passion for travel. She travelled so often that her parents thought she was studying tourism instead of biochemistry! After many years in research labs, her travel addiction, and a desperate need for fresh air and the outdoors, led her into the travel industry. While working in a renowned Latin American specialist opeator in London, she realised that even the most experienced and knowledgeable consultants in the business knew almost nothing about South Brazil as a travel destination. She then decided to move back to Brazil with her partner to put South Brazil on the map and to realise her lifelong dream of living in Floripa.
