URGENT REQUEST - Do you have pictures from Macaé?

We have an immediate request from a UK magazine.

Do you have any pictures of Macaé?

If you have any pictures in your archive that suit this brief - it would be great if you could email me with any pictures immediately - juliette@demotix.com

‘Nueva Holanda’ and ‘Nueva Esperanza’
But any favela will do.

Macaé town:
The rich oil workers enjoying their money.
