In the neighboring State of Rio de Janeiro the land- scape urges you to rest, dream and maybe write poetry; and if it's water sports and deep-sea fishing you're after, then head for the golden beaches which can be found almost everywhere. They say that when Mrs. Roosevelt first saw the "Sete Quedes" Falls she exclaimed, "Poor Niagara!" This is the spot where a colossal hydroelectric power plant is to be built, with an eventual capacity of 15 million kw. This gives some idea of the grandeur of the spectacle offered to the tourist. The whole 'region forms part of the Paeana River hydrographic basin. Local rock formations led to the great differ- ences in level along which rivers eventually came to form gigantic waterfalls. Nearby can be found veritable cities of rock, shaped by sculpture like those at Vila Velha. They resemble anythink from a sleeping giant, a 'beautiful wo- man or a,huge finger to a drink- ing goblet.
