There are beautiful objects carved in wood and rustic furniture. It’s lined up in the main square and radiating streets lots of cosy cafés and a myriad of eateries where you can dine on lunch and sample delicious Brazilian typical dishes and desserts. You can also enjoy the ever-popular cachaça, the so-called refreshing açaí, local yoghurt, and other things. (not included in the tour price)
