This colonial town reveals the charm of over 500 years of history of Portuguese colonization. Originally a port from which the Portuguese shipped gold back to Europe before Rio de Janeiro was settled, this small town retains its architectural charm to this day largely because it was forgotten by time and not accessible by road until after WWII.
Days 8-9 we will see another side of Brazil and explore its colonial past and how it mixes with present day culture.
