Parque Nacional de Boa Nova e Chapada Diamantina | Parques do Brasil
Um parque onde é possível ir da Mata Atlântica até o semiárido. Uma cordilheira antiga possibilita o surgimento de ambientes únicos no meio do sertão. Neste episódio vamos para o interior da Bahia conhecer lugares extraordinários.
No primeiro bloco, o Parque Nacional e o Refúgio da Vida Silvestre de Boa Nova. Estas duas unidades foram criadas em 2010 e abrigam três ambientes distintos: a floresta atlântica, a mata de cipó e a caatinga. Lá encontramos metade das espécies de aves da Bahia, como o gravatazeiro, o caburé, a saíra-amarela, o bacurauzinho-da-caatinga, o periquito-da-caatinga, beija-flores e muitas outras. Nesta primeira parte conheceremos também a flora da caatinga, a história da onça-parda e do tatu-peba, o veado-catingueiro, a cobra-bicuda e os fantásticos lajedos.
No segundo bloco, passamos por dentro do sertão até esbarrar num paredão de pedra imponente: a Serra do Sincorá. Parte da Cordilheira do Espinhaço, apresenta no meio do sertão baiano uma incrível diversidade de ambientes como florestas, campos rupestres e até um pantanal. Nesta segunda parte do episódio conheceremos ainda os impactos do garimpo na região e histórias que começaram a 1,7 bilhões de anos, além de personagens incríveis como o beija-flor-de-gravata-vermelha, plantas endêmicas e cachoeiras espetaculares, como a da Fumaça, da Fumacinha e do Herculano.

Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães | Parques do Brasil
Neste episódio vamos até o Mato Grosso. Perto da capital Cuiabá conhecemos o Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Guimarães. No primeiro bloco subimos até o alto do chapadão, seguimos por dentro de um cerrado-anão e nos deparamos com uma paisagem deslumbrante: a Cidade de Pedra. Composta por arenitos erodidos pelo vento, apresenta formações monumentais que lembram as ruínas de um castelo. Deste ponto descemos a serra. Na estrada presenciamos uma irara perseguindo um teiú. Nesta baixada fomos até o rio Claro e revelamos histórias de sucuris, cutias e onças. Em seguida rumamos para a sede da unidade onde conhecemos quedas d`água belas como a Cachoeirinha e a Cachoeira dos Namorados, além da emblemática Véu de Noiva com 76 metros de altura. No entorno desta cachoeira impressionante encontramos um vale coberto pela maior área de floresta do parque. Nos paredões deste vale observamos araras-vermelhas, gibãos-de-couro e uma inusitada família de macacos-prego.
No segundo bloco exploramos trilhas percorridas por viajantes-naturalistas e tropeiros no passado. Neste caminho observamos paisagens retratadas por pintores e desenhistas em 1827, durante a expedição do Barão de Langsdorff, como a própria Véu de Noiva, antes conhecida como Cachoeira do inferno, e uma série de formações rochosas que lembram civilizações antigas. No início descemos o vale do córrego da Independência. Caminhando pelo cerrado, conhecemos frutos como a lobeira, o araticum, o abacaxi-do-cerrado, a mangaba, a marmelada, o murici e o cascudo ( endêmica da Chapada). Neste bloco revelamos ainda a vida noturna do chapadão com imagens de antas, cachorros-do-mato e lobos-guará; vimos aves como o pitiguari, a ariramba-preta e o urubuzinho; subimos o Morro São Jerônimo – o ponto culminante da unidade -, e relatamos a existência de espécies como a raposinha-do-campo, a queixada e a jaguatirica.

SUMMARY
=======
The Azores ( ə-ZORZ or AY-zorz; Portuguese: Açores, [ɐˈsoɾɨʃ]), officially the Autonomous Region of the Azores (Região Autónoma dos Açores), is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal (along with Madeira). It is an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean about 1,360 km (850 mi) west of continental Portugal, about 1,643 km (1,021 mi) west of Lisbon, in continental Portugal, about 1,507 km (936 mi) northwest of Morocco, and about 1,925 km (1,196 mi) southeast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Its main industries are agriculture, dairy farming, livestock, fishing, and tourism, which is becoming the major service activity in the region. In addition, the government of the Azores employs a large percentage of the population directly or indirectly in the service and tertiary sectors. The main capital of the Azores is Ponta Delgada.
There are nine major Azorean islands and an islet cluster, in three main groups. These are Flores and Corvo, to the west; Graciosa, Terceira, São Jorge, Pico, and Faial in the centre; and São Miguel, Santa Maria, and the Formigas Reef to the east. They extend for more than 600 km (370 mi) and lie in a northwest-southeast direction.
All the islands have volcanic origins, although some, such as Santa Maria, have had no recorded activity since the islands were settled. Mount Pico, on the island of Pico, is the highest point in Portugal, at 2,351 m (7,713 ft). If measured from their base at the bottom of the ocean to their peaks, which thrust high above the surface of the Atlantic, the Azores are actually some of the tallest mountains on the planet.
The climate of the Azores is very mild for such a northerly location, being influenced by its distance from the continents and by the passing Gulf Stream. Due to the marine influence, temperatures remain mild year-round. Daytime temperatures normally fluctuate between 16 °C (61 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F) depending on season. Temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) or below 3 °C (37 °F) are unknown in the major population centres. It is also generally wet and cloudy.
The culture, dialect, cuisine, and traditions of the Azorean islands vary considerably, because these once-uninhabited and remote islands were settled sporadically over a span of two centuries.

Mount Pico, on the island of Pico, is the highest point in Portugal, at 2,351 m (7,713 ft). If measured from their base at the bottom of the ocean to their peaks, which thrust high above the surface of the Atlantic, the Azores are actually some of the tallest mountains on the planet.
The climate of the Azores is very mild for such a northerly location, being influenced by its distance from the continents and by the passing Gulf Stream. Due to the marine influence, temperatures remain mild year-round. Daytime temperatures normally fluctuate between 16 °C (61 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F) depending on season. Temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) or below 3 °C (37 °F) are unknown in the major population centres. It is also generally wet and cloudy.
The culture, dialect, cuisine, and traditions of the Azorean islands vary considerably, because these once-uninhabited and remote islands were settled sporadically over a span of two centuries.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Azores ( ə-ZORZ or AY-zorz; Portuguese: Açores, [ɐˈsoɾɨʃ]), officially the Autonomous Region of the Azores (Região Autónoma dos Açores), is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal (along with Madeira (Região Autónoma da Madeira). It is an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean about 1,360 km (850 mi) west of continental Portugal, about 1,643 km (1,021 mi) west of Lisbon, in continental Portugal, about 1,507 km (936 mi) northwest of Morocco, and about 1,925 km (1,196 mi) southeast of Newfoundland, Canada.
Its main industries are agriculture, dairy farming, livestock, fishing, and tourism, which is becoming the major service activity in the region. In addition, the government of the Azores employs a large percentage of the population directly or indirectly in the service and tertiary sectors. The main capital of the Azores is Ponta Delgada.
There are nine major Azorean islands and an islet cluster, in three main groups. These are Flores and Corvo, to the west; Graciosa, Terceira, São Jorge, Pico, and Faial in the centre; and São Miguel, Santa Maria, and the Formigas Reef to the east. They extend for more than 600 km (370 mi) and lie in a northwest-southeast direction.
All the islands have volcanic origins, although some, such as Santa Maria, have had no recorded activity since the islands were settled. Mount Pico, on the island of Pico, is the highest point in Portugal, at 2,351 m (7,713 ft). If measured from their base at the bottom of the ocean to their peaks, which thrust high above the surface of the Atlantic, the Azores are actually some of the tallest mountains on the planet.
The climate of the Azores is very mild for such a northerly location, being influenced by its distance from the continents and by the passing Gulf Stream. Due to the marine influence, temperatures remain mild year-round. Daytime temperatures normally fluctuate between 16 °C (61 °F) and 25 °C (77 °F) depending on season. Temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) or below 3 °C (37 °F) are unknown in the major population centres. It is also generally wet and cloudy.
The culture, dialect, cuisine, and traditions of the Azorean islands vary considerably, because these once-uninhabited and remote islands were settled sporadically over a span of two centuries.
