Jacuí....the view!




The community of Jacuí is located in a mountainous region in Southern Brazil, about 2 hours by car from Curitiba. The church is on the top of one of this mountains and the view was wonderful! The people in this region either raise cows and goats or work in rock cutting. This region has huge boulders that are cut and used in highway construction. The people are very poor and live isolated due to winding dirt roads that are at times impossible to travel on, the distances between houses, and the distance to the nearest town.
