Guarapari, April 2019

Guarapari was just a technical stop on our way to the Abrolhos archipelago. Nice town.

And on the way there we caught a nice Mahi mahi that Yuka cooked to perfection.

We anchored in front of a gated community with beautiful villas along a natural reserve, where wealthy people from Vitoria have their vacation houses. Mostly coffee exporters, I heard.

We felt very welcomed by the people living there, and the guards let us land with the dinghy on the beach and take a Uber to go downtown and visit the only monument that survived in town: Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição.

The town is very new with the usual tall buildings along the beach, a nice waterfront but not much more. It was a Saturday, and it was interesting to watch people enjoying the beach.

Time to get to Vitoria, another technical stop on the way to the Abrolhos archipelago!
