He was fascinated by the country's diverse cultures and traditions, and he collected folk songs, dances, and stories from all over the country. His experiences on these journeys inspired some of his most famous works, including the novel "Macunaíma" (1928), which is considered one of the greatest works of Brazilian literature.
