We spent two nights at anchor near Morro de Sao Paulo.  The only downside to the anchorage is that there is a stream of tourist boats that pass quite close by, but the location is beautiful and the town of Sao Paolo is worth a visit.  It is only accessible by boat and so it has tiled streets and porters that are continually moving people’s luggage around in wheelbarrows.  It is touristy but in a quaint way.  The beaches are fringed by reefs that block the waves and create warm pools of water for swimming.  
 
Sao Paulo also has a cliff with a land slide of supposedly therapeutic mud.  I am not convinced of the therapeutic properties but everybody got covered in mud just in case it made them look 20 years younger.  There was a Brazilian babe there who was slapping on the mud and Andrea reckoned she was really an old crone being kept young by the mud.
