Set on the verdant green coast of Brazil this small fishing village is a truly idyllic and beautiful spot where the locals (though very friendly) are concerned with fish and not tourists.

This makes for a fabulous look at the real Brazil where you get a genuine feel for the people and culture of this country.

This is a protected area, so development is almost non-existent, the wildlife is abundant and the beaches secluded and totally unspoilt, with rainforest covered hills providing a stunning backdrop.

What to do

  • Relax on the beach
  • Walks through the rainforest
  • Exploring the small village
  • Boat trips
