Port of Chickens

Porto de Gallinas (Port of Chickens) is a popular holiday spot for Brazilian families and it isn’t hard to see why - it has a beautiful and lively main beach with natural rock pools, a lagoon area with crabs and seahorses and a cute town area with an array of restaurants and shops. There are little chicken statues all around the town and chicken footprints painted on the pavement. 


We stayed at a little posada near the beach which claimed to have a pet monkey. We didn't see any evidence of a monkey (liars), but they did have a cute kitten.

We spent a beautiful day exploring the lagoon area. It was supposed to contain seahorses, but we just saw thousands of crabs, big and small. So pretty.
