We can accomodate 30 guests with good comfort and the different restaurants and inns are property of local residents. We have succesfully hosted several seminars and courses and the demand is good.

Who are our visitors?
They look for the quiet beauty of the village and the surroundings, are interested in the peculiarity  and different culture of the inhabitants and concerned about the preservation of the environment. They may be active environmentalists or belong to a church- or humanrights group. They can live without hectic night life, boutiques and swimming pool.

What we offer:
Healthy nutrition fresh from the ocean and the fields. Clean double rooms with bed and hammocks. Walkingtours over dunes to the surrounding lagoons. Serenades of the local musicians and poets and shows of the children's choir. Handicraft and embroideries from the village, T-shirts and postcards designed and photographed by our local artists. Several festivals like Holyweek, the St. Peters Procession at sea, the eco Jangada race or one of the many school events.
Economic and social benefits of tourism:

 Despite the present fisheries crisis, the income from fish and lobster will continue to sustain the 180 families for some time to come. Fisheries could even improve again, if our efforts for a sustainable fisheries management carry fruits.
The tourism-project should promote additional income, some jobs and the production of embroideries and handicraft as well as to open future career opportunities in tourism for the young people of the village. Through the project we will avoid that the business is done by outside investors and that the income and the profit remain in the village. Some examples: 
Tourism-coordinator, Catering- and banquet-services; Walkingtrail- and Tourism-Guides; driver; Jangada rental; handicraft and souvenir store; cleaning women; entertainment; room rental in private homes and so on.

It is clear to us, that all inhabitants won't share directly in this blessing, therefore we have tried in the tourism-council to find away to benefit the less educated citizens too. The by-laws of the tourism-cooperative foresee the creation of a fund for education and solidariety, which will be administered by a solidarity-council. The fund will be fed through
