I think this is a Fulgorid Plant hopper (Fulgoridae)

Hi Sergio! What a cool hopper, and great photos (I especially like the one on your hand for scale)! Believe it or not, however, I'm pretty sure that this is actually a small species of Fulgoridae, rather than a large cixiid. I don't know what genus it is, though....Zeunasa and Acraephia are possibilities....
