Killed by cliff in Pipa, he made a touching post a few days ago and has already aired on national television in a program presented by Paulo Henrique Amorim. Family had a history of adventures and was linked to nature and travel. Initial investigation points out that this Tuesday’s tragedy was not an “accident”
Hugo, Stella and Sol
Stella Souza, Hugo Mendes Pereira and the baby of the 7-month-old couple, Sol Mendes, died buried this Tuesday (17) after the collapse of a cliff in Praia de Pipa (RN). The family dog also died.
Hugo, 32 years old, had already starred in an article broadcast on national television in 2017, on the program Domingo Espetacular, at the time presented by journalist Paulo Henrique Amorim.
When the report was aired, Hugo was 29 years old and lived in Búzios, Rio de Janeiro, in an adapted car. He traveled the world with a dog named Brisa (video below).
Hugo and Stella liked to be called hippies and were the owners of the small pousada Morada da Brisa (named after the dog), which is on the main avenue in Pipa. They had a close connection with nature, animals and travel.
Hugo and his dog left Jundiaí in 2015, after his mother died of cancer. There he decided to quit his job as coordinator of international projects, took his surfboard and went to travel the country.
“I had a very well-paid stable job and a beautiful job. Leaving seemed crazy, I went out the front door and left it open. Since then, I have traveled through 5 continents, several countries, different cultures, 24 states in Brazil. The most diverse places, the most incredible people ”, he said in a post published on Instagram 1 month ago.
Together, Hugo and Brisa traveled the country until she needed to stop traveling in November 2018: the dog had a spinal tumor. He then disposed of the van to take up residence in Pipa. In honor of her, in addition to the inn’s name, Hugo got a tattoo on his leg with Brisa’s face in September this year.
In Pipa, Hugo met potiguar psychologist Stella. Soon, they started dating and went to live together. Last year, she got pregnant and had her son.
Hugo e Stella’s hostel had one of the best reviews of Pipa on the Booking hosting platform. Owners were always mentioned in positive reviews.
“Hugo was an example of persistence in a mission to be happy”, says Jundiaí friend Rodrigo Ienne. “A fantastic inspirer of dreams”, reported the friend Márcio Roberto de Farias.
According to witnesses, Stella tried to protect her son when the cliff collapsed. She was found hugging the baby. “There was still time for the mother to try to hold the child, which is why the adults were more hurt, because the mother was hugging him,” reported businessman Igor Caetano.

“Look, 5 years ago I had a stable job, very well paid, a position with a beautiful name: coordinator of international projects.
There were 8 years in the América Mobile group (Claro + Embratel + Net), 8 promotions in the portfolio. Medical and dental insurance, fat meal voucher, career plan. Leaving seemed crazy, I left the front door and left it open.
From then on, I went to 5 continents, several countries, different cultures, 24 states in Brazil. Most diverse places, most incredible people.
I did things that I had never even thought of doing, I worked in the dishes, cleaning, daily servant, I worked as a volunteer, around the bush. I was made a sucker by those who ran with me, I was loved by someone I had never even seen.
I had lunch in the church, I didn’t have lunch, I had lunch in the fancy restaurant. I slept on the street, slept on the beach, in the tent, in the abandoned house, in the square, at the airport, for years I lived in the car.
On the way I realized working with accommodation, I participated in several projects and today in family we have @moradadadabrisapipa, which last season received 521 people from 17 countries and in the shoe we were among the 10 best evaluated in the city. City with more than 493 properties registered on the world’s largest booking platform, booking.com
Few know, but in parallel I still work registered, with 32 years, I have 12 years of registration, yes the hippie CLT .. Until yesterday I worked in a 5 star hotel, on a 6 by 1 scale, and at dawn to be able to reconcile with our business, he was an auditor.

Very happy.

The Tibau do Sul City Hall was aware of the risks of the cliffs collapsing at Praia de Pipa. The dangers of the stretch had already been warned in recommendations made by the Federal Public Ministry of RN (MPF-RN). One of them caused the Municipality to hire a team of professionals to map the areas of greatest threat.
“The Municipality hired a geologist, has already done this mapping and is in the final phase of this report. From the conclusion, there will be a new MPF hearing for referrals and how to deal more conclusively with what is happening ”, explained the state Civil Defense coordinator, Marcos de Carvalho.
After the accident this afternoon, Civil Defense teams from RN and Tibau do Sul were in Pipa to decide on a possible interdiction of the stretch. The cliff-top establishments underwent inspection and, due to the high tide, only on Wednesday morning (18) will there be an assessment of the area where the accident happened.
“I am born and raised here and this has always happened, but more and more the sea is destroying the cliff. We see tourists enjoying the shadow of the cliffs and ask them to leave because we know the risk ”, said a fisherman from the region.
Iiba Cortez, secretary of the Urban Environment of Tibau do Sul, explained that the municipality has been working on the completion of the technical report and believes that the collapse was intensified by the strong action of the tide.
“We had been doing a survey of the cliffs. This adds up to a tidal action factor. The tides of the past two months are very violent, ”he said.
“We were taking palliative, preventive measures. In July, we carried out an inspection with the State Civil Defense and traveled this point to Baía dos Golfinhos in relation to this signaling. We put some signs with risk of falls. Today we had a beach inspector. We put beach inspectors to warn bathers of this ”, he said.
According to the secretary of Urban Services of Tibau do Sul, Francisco Albuquerque Neto, the City Hall had also placed a sign on the stretch where the accident happened, but it was destroyed by the action of the sea.
“We put up warning signs, but seeing that there is a difficulty due to the cliff being very close to the beach, which causes it to be removed by nature,” he said.
Journalist Flávio Rangel commented on the collapse in Pipa. “The tragedy at Praia de Pipa is not an“ accident ”: it is yet another example of how we are unprepared for the exploration of tourism and our natural environments. Much sadness for the family ”, he wrote.
