Going Deep into Brazil's Beach Towns
Brazil is famous for having the sexiest people on the planet. What you may not know is that they're also the friendliest--nowhere more so than in three small, rustic beach towns in the state of Bahia.

Ilha de Boipeba
The river that separates Ilha de Tinharé from Ilha de Boipeba, my next destination, is called Rio do Inferno--Hell's River. The foreboding name made me anxious about the crossing. In truth, Hell's River is as volatile as a pond. It's easily traversed in a five-minute ride on a fishing boat.
