Architectural, Cultural sights in Xapuri

1. Casa Chico Mendes

   • Xapuri, Brazil
   • Sights › Architectural, cultural

   Just across the street from the Fundação Chico Mendes, the teal and pink Casa Chico Mendes is just that: the simple wood house where Mendes, his wife and two children lived until his murder. This is also where he was killed; tours conducted by docents from the Foundation (required) include a graphic description of place and moment he was shot, even the bloodstains still on the walls. Photos are not permitted inside the house, but outside is OK.
