Trancoso Beach. Not bad either... ;-)

Un bon voyage!
Great to have so many panoramas--it was like watching a film! Ah, Brazil--gorgeous beaches, too-sweet cakes, friendly people and those cute churches on hills--you bring back such lovely memories, though cobblestones are killers on bikes and feet. How fabulous that one of your last nights was illuminated by magical fireflies. Excellent adventure!

faves of Brazil
My very favorite was Paraty on the south coast--colonial, pedestrian small city with great beaches nearby and lots of day trips by cheap bus or bike to hiking spots. I would also have loved nearby Ihla Grande, but it was pouring, but beaches and hikes (always my faves). Second fave would be Ouro Preto and surrounding towns--gorgeous churches and colonial buildings on millions of hills (cobbled streets). Then beautiful, but big city Rio--beachces, hikes, culture and a 2-week international film fest that I stayed for. Of course, Iguasu, but you also really need to see that from the Argentine side too. I was only there for 6 weeks because it was so expensive, so I only saw 5 very worthwhile towns. Great parks and museums in Sao Paulo and train ride through mountains and jungle to the coast from Curitiba rounds out my trip. I'll be following to see where you two go. Ciao!
