Summary of the book entitled 'The Treasure of Sombrio Bay'
Welcome to our exploration of the fabled Sombrio Cove treasure. Our journey began in 2009, and over the years we have delved deep into this captivating mystery, unveiling numerous layers of historical secrets and stories, and translating those into a compelling narrative that blurs the line between fact and fiction. In 2010, we had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Osmar Soalheiro, a key figure in our quest. He is the most prominent disciple of the pioneering researcher, Mr. Paul Thiry. We spent hours in Mr. Osmar's home, sifting through his meticulous research notes on the treasure. His accounts provided us with invaluable insight, thanks to his close association with Mr. Thiry. Mr. Paul Thiry, an engineer by profession, was the first to turn a discerning eye towards the Sombrio Cove treasure. It was his remarkable realization that the so-called Trinity treasure was, in fact, not concealed on Trinity Island as many believed, but in Sombrio Cove, Ilhabela. We were fortunate enough to converse with numerous individuals who collaborated with Mr. Thiry, whose perspectives added further depth to our understanding of the treasure's lore. To bolster the theories we've uncovered, our team embarked on site surveys in the Sombrio Cove area. These expeditions offered us a first-hand glimpse into the physical environment of the treasure's reputed location, allowing us to corroborate many hypotheses regarding the elusive treasure. In this vast expanse of information and theories about the Sombrio Cove treasure, it is inevitable that not all can be substantiated. Consequently, we have chosen to compile our collective findings into a narrative woven with threads of both confirmed facts and imaginative fiction. In doing so, we leave it up to you, our readers, to discern fact from fiction, to question, and to draw your own conclusions. This journey, spanning over a decade, has been one of discovery, intrigue, and a testament to the allure of hidden treasures and the stories they inspire. We invite you to join us in this quest and embark on a thrilling adventure into the heart of the Sombrio Cove treasure saga.

It is the genesis of the most intriguing treasure-hunting legends we know of.

It is a complete rewriting of the 2011 book entitled 'O Tesouro do Sombrio' now with much more elements of this amazing story collected by its original author during years of research and maturation.
This book is a work of fiction inspired by interviews and documentation from Trindade treasure hunters and from historical facts such as the story of Aleixo Garcia. The treasure is actually Ilhabela itself and its fascinating mystique and we vehemently discourage anyone from trying to find treasure on the island. Most of the island is a conservation area and excavation or depredation is prohibited by federal law.

Have you ever watched a super production movie about a capoeira fighter hero as you certainly have of kung-fu fighters? Why not? You have certainly heard about Count Dracula from Transylvania but have you ever heard about a personage as intriguing as the vampire, the legendary Curupira, a man with feet turned backwards and with burning fire hair that used to haunt the Indians throughout the forests of Brazil? Or the fantastic Saci Perere, a supernatural one-legged black boy that rides in the whirlwind? These are some examples of the vast and rich cultural elements which are part of continental sized Brazil. Cultural elements are actually manifestations of Brazil's quintessence forged out of profound pains but also joys experienced by its people throughout space and time, they are the actual spirits (or genius) of the places (loci).
