Colonised
by the French and Portuguese, the city has over 1000 colonial
buildings that are considered by Unesco as Cultural Heritage of
Humanity. The hot climate all year around, the beaches and cultural
events such as the Bumba-Meu-Boi are also excelent attractions.
The landscape resembles a desert, with dunes up
to 40 meters high and beautiful green and blue lagoons making up an
incredible scenery. Rivers complete the 155 thousand hectares of this
tropical oasis. The lagoons are the result of the rains in the area, and are the
perfect place for a refreshing swim.
