Espírito Santo

Espírito Santo balances an Atlantic-facing coast with a mountainous interior in a way that reflects its position between the ocean and Brazil’s southeastern highlands. Its capital, Vitória, occupies an island in a bay along the central coast, while neighbouring Vila Velha is crowned by the Convento da Penha, a major Catholic pilgrimage site founded in the 16th century. Beaches, ports and urban districts line the shore; inland, the Serra do Caparaó reaches toward the state border, and the Doce River crosses the north before meeting the Atlantic. Coffee farming remains an important part of Espírito Santo’s identity, particularly in rural areas. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Espírito Santo.
