An excellent location for those looking for a quiet, safe and friendly "home away from home". Enjoy the calm serenity of the areas numerous lakes, the grand beauty of it's miles of open ocean beaches or trek into the nearby mountains to spend the day lounging in the natural pools of the local water falls and exploring the miles or trails.

Real Estate values in this area are generally much more reasonable than in the city and the area has a more "locals oriented" atmosphere that will appeal to those considering retiring in Brazil or to families that are looking for a small, safe area where everyone remembers your name and treat you like life-long friends, rather than tourists.
