Joao Batista Sergio Murad, the son of a Lebanese immigrant farmworker, reinvented himself as Beto Carrero, a lasso-twirling showman on horseback who became one of Brazil's most recognizable entertainers. In 1991, on a stretch of coastline near the small city of Penha in Santa Catarina, he opened the doors to his dream: a theme park that mixed German villages with pirate islands, dinosaur caves with Old West saloons, and animatronic fantasy with live cowboy shows. He ran it himself until his death in 2008. Today the park draws nearly three million visitors a year.
