Começo este livro com uma paisagem que, no começo de minhas travessias, era mais presente na minha vida: a neve. Desta vez, descrevo apenas duas montanhas no Brasil, bonitas e fáceis. Incluo um conto sobre mais uma lenda do folclore, e tambem sobre uma ave comum, onde a astronomia ira convergir com a natureza. Este livro fala das Aguas do Parana e do Caminho do Sol em So Paulo, duas experiencias de minha vivencia caminhante. E novamente das aguas, desta feita nos ambientes areniticos do Centro-Oeste e, mais adiante, do Pantanal. Comento sobre sanitaristas e historiadores brasileiros. Ha sempre nos meus livros bravos personagens envolvidos na defesa do ambiente. Neste caso, sero um modesto fazendeiro pantaneiro e um bravo militar.
