12 Cidadezinhas Mais Bonitas do Brasil que Ninguém Conhece

Brazil has thousands of breathtaking small towns, and the only reason you don't know about them is that tourism has gone elsewhere. There are twelve beautiful and almost invisible places on the map, from number twelve to number one: a stone village high in the mountains, a colonial city abandoned by wealth, an island that was once a prison, a village at the foot of a sacred mountain range. All remained extraordinary while no one was looking, and number one is so stunning and so difficult to reach that most Brazilians will never set foot there. Which of these towns did you not even know existed? Tell us in the comments.
