The
old jail house of "Dois Rios" (Two Rivers) allowed The tourist
exploitation to be slow and controlled, keeping nature untouched. Back
That time when The jail house was still working we could usually hear that an outcast had ran away and was probably looking for a boat to
help him scape to The continent.
As The jail house was extinguished The number of tourists grew and with it grew a structure of Inn, Bars etc to provide comfort to The foreigners . Of course since then we have being very careful with The island natural resources. The
Abraão Village Main urban nucleons full of inns, restaurants, bars and
handcraft shops. There
are walking tracks through the forest that lead to the beaches, water
falls, and historical monuments like the aqueduct and the old leprosarium
of the Black Beach. The most famous beach is Lopes Mendes, the first one
on the south extreme facing the open sea. Good for sports like surfing and
windsurfing. You can follow one of the walking tracks with beautiful
view to get to the Abraham Village. Still on the south extreme there is the South Beach a biological reserve created during the seventies when the island became a Federal Park. |
