Porto Seguro

Porto Seguro

We left Caravelas in the morning but not before I took this photo of the local church.

There were some unusual views en route north but this looks like a man made block but it is completely natural.

Porto Seguro was the place where Pedro Alvarez Cabral discovered Brazil and landed on the new continent. The old historic centre is located on the cliff top overlooking the port.

The beaches all along this coast are empty and all have beautiful clean and sandy beaches.

Another old building, a warehouse.
