Next stop Venda Nova!

After an 8:30 breakfast with our hosts, we leave Guaçui at around 10 for the 36KM drive to Venda Nova Do Imigrante. It is Sunday and we arrive to a champagne reception at a large and beautiful home owned by Rotarian Ana Lucia and Deorgens Perim where will all be staying. The fist time we are all in the same place together.


Venda Nova is the capital of agro tourism and carries the title of best little city in all of Brazil. 90% of the residents are of Italian decent. The main industry - agro tourism - consists of many famliy owned businesses growing and producing coffee, cheese, cachaça, wine and palenta. If you´re looking for a great place for a honeymoon, vacation, or whatever, this is the place to come. It is also the home to Pedro Azul, Espirito Santo´s most famous peak. We visit Pedro Azul after being treated to lunch at Fazenda Saude where the food is prepared over wood stoves.


We relax with our hosts and then have a pizza dinner at a fabulous restaurant. More later...
