This is a lovely colonial town in Northern Brazil. Much of it is dilapidated but there are visible efforts at preserving the beautiful Portuguese facades. Walking down the streets I felt I was transported to happier richer times where colors and sounds beamed loudly through the thick hot tropical air.
