Canacona in Goa
The Far South District Of Canacona
Ceded to the Portuguese by the Raja of Sund in the treaty of 1791,
Goa's far south - Canacona district - was among the last parts of the
territory to be absorbed into the Novas Conquistas, and has retained a
distinctly Hindu feel.
The area also boasts some of the state's most
outstanding scenery.
Set against a backdrop of the Jungle covered Sahyadri
Hills (an extension of the Western Ghat Range), a string of pearl white
coves and sweeping beaches scoop its indented coastline.
Enfolded by laterite headlands and colossal piles of
back boulders.
