Um dia com a guia das Cataratas
A short magazine profile of Rosana, a guide at the Iguaçu Falls: she gets up at five, takes the bus along Avenida das Cataratas, works five days a week with groups in three languages, explains everything calmly to nervous tourists, buys raincoats because everybody gets soaked on the walkway, and says she works for love of the falls, not only for the salary.
