Also, refreshing to see something of the IBAMA actually working with recyclable trash and preservation ethics. However, since its an island and access is terrible you will probably get bored after 3 days.

I just hope my wishful thinking comes true and the local politicians understand the machinations of the tourist industry and start injecting incentives for the flight and travel companies. The price of tickets are killing the industry even if nicer developments start getting built. A few years back a roundway ticket was 400 euros (comfort class - sightly better than economy) and now its triple the price.
The price of tickets is not affecting tourism in all places as much as you would expect. I just talked to the owner of a high end pousada in Pipa trying to get accommodation and he is booked out until early next year!!
