We made it to Brazil - finally!
Our first stop is the little village of Praia do Forte. Kind of a local tourist destination. Very little english spoken anywhere. Beaches are the main attraction here and they are lovely. Our pousada (hotel) , Sobrado do Vila, is clean and simple.
We visited the sea turtle reserve, Project TAMAR, maintained by conservationists and the government. They assist thousands of baby sea turtles in getting to the ocean after they hatch and help to protect 5 different species of sea turtle as well. They also rescue injured turtles.
They are HUGE 4-5ft long. The one on the right is a baby turtle (3 inches). So cool to see!
Here is a video of one also.
