Sao Luis was originally settled by the Dutch who were pushed out by the French who were finally pushed out by the Portuguese and the city is now truly Brazilian in its own unique way. It is home to peoples of all races, colors, backgrounds and upbringing that share a special view of life that is the heart of Brazil. This includes a very famous Carnaval full of dancing and music, many other festivals and a friendly open outreach to visitors. The beaches are world famous and include lots of chances to dine and watch the sunset, swim, surf, kite surf, play soccer or other games of life. Exploration opportunities include trips to one of the most beautiful stretches of beach and tidal backwater in the world (Lencois), trips by boat up the Amazon, road trips into the interior, and ferry excursions to nearby islands. More important to biofuel companies are the endless opportunities associated with the development of vertically integrated businesses including low cost land, excellent logistics, year round growing season, plenty of water and lots of agricultural land that is underutilized. At the same time, there is an excellent protection system for the Amazon lands, that allows visitors to understand efforts to balance development and sustainability.
