A Florida resident and accomplished retail professional, Eva Lea Klein gained extensive professional experience assisting with the family store in Brazil. Family focused, Eva Lea Klein regularly visits relatives in locales spanning New York, Texas, and her native Brazil. One of the aspects of Brazil most popular with visitors is its tropical coastline and white sand beaches. A premier destination is Canoa Quebrada, which has roots as a fishing village in the state of Ceará in northeastern Brazil. Fronted by red cliffs, the town name means “broken canoe,” and the area became a backpacking destination in the 1970s. A unique moon-and-star design that now defines the area has its roots in the handicrafts of a local artist during this era. With the landscape combining lagoons, huge sand dunes, cliffs, and wide beaches, Canoa Quebrada has gained a reputation as a music and art haven. Some 70,000 hectares of coastal land stretching from Porto Canoa to the Jaguaribe River is now preserved as an Environmental Protection Zone. This ensures that a proper balance between the demands of tourism and the region’s stark natural beauty is maintained.
