Vila Velha Attractions: What to do & Places to Visit in Vila Velha
"I rented a car and learned to drive like a Brazilian. It is no wonder they do so well in motor racing, but driving across this bridge made it worthwhile.
This fort is on top of a huge rock and slaves carried all the materials up there. You can take a bus to the top, but I hiked, as I wanted some id..."ea of the sacrifice these slaves made to do the construction. The hike was interesting and steep. Ancient steps carved into the rock and lots of wildlife. The monkeys are entertaining.
The convent is stone and you will find some sections that have not been restored that will give you some idea of the extent of the rebuild.
No a fancy place, just a good representative of life in the colonial Brazil.
The view is spectacular and a must if you are in the area

"The view from the top is already worth the visit, simply amazing! Nice little chapel to visit with an interesting story as it was once used as a fort. There's no fee."
