The reporting team presents the potential of the São Francisco Valley, which, with irrigation projects, has become a fruit and vegetable producing region. Grape plantations near Petrolina and wineries make the region one of the largest wine producers in the country. The program shows the progress of the integration works of the São Francisco basin and the wait of the people of the backlands for the water of the Velho Chico. Projects to recover springs in Minas Gerais and to protect the fauna and flora in the caatinga are examples of actions to protect the environment and revitalize the river. The history and legends of the São Francisco River take us to the carrancas of the artisan Roque Santeiro, who transforms pieces of wood into culture. And the beauty of the canyons of the São Francisco, a region rich in water resources and rock walls, is a tourist attraction.
