The tourist lifestyle
With the exception of the Coronavirus pandemic, leisure travellers have always flocked South African borders to get the full experience of what the foot of Africa possesses.
Nascimento, who is here to ply his trade, has taken advantage of this and has visited various locations with his family, including the luxurious Camps Bay beach and the Elephant Sanctuary Hartbeespoort.
The common trend
It seems that the 35-year-old has a keen interest in nature and animals, as this is the common trend among the locations he has visited. Hailing all the way from Brazil, one would see why the defender would be into environmental tourism as his country boasts acres on acres of nature that consist of millions of creatures.
In SA, he has visited wildlife destinations where he got up close and personal with crocodiles and elephants. He has also got to experience the luxuriant coastline of the Atlantic Seaboard.

Nascimento scored the only goal of the 2017 CAF Super Cup, where Sundowns were crowned champions.
