The southern beaches

Early in the morning, we drive along the East Coast to the village of Porto Alegre.

The drive is about 3 hours, with stops to take in the views of the Iô Grande river, the volcanic plug that is Cão Grande, as well as the waterfall and plantation of Ribeira Peixe.

Once we arrive to Portalegre, we will visit the old mansion of Lama Porco before descending to Jalé beach.

From here we have the long-streched desert Southern beaches before us. It is from here that we can go through the mangroves by canoe.

We continue driving along the beach to Praia Piscina and if the weather permits, we may walk this distance instead of going it by car.

At Praia Piscina we can take a swim before it is time for our picnic lunch.

After lunch there will be time to relax before returning to the city.
