CBR030 THE BAHIA DISCOVERY COAST| 8 DAYS | 7 NIGHTS
TRANCOSO - PORTO SEGURO - ARRAIAL D´AJUDA COM GUIA BILINGUE PRIVATIVO
Considered the starting point of the Brazilian history and culture, the Discovery Coast was declared World Natural Heritage by UNESCO, in 1999. Surrounded by several natural attractions – such as beaches, bays, inlets, cliffs, coral reefs, mangroves and navigable rivers – the region has favorable conditions for adventure tourism and ecotourism. Many paradisiacal beaches enchant the visitors. In Porto Seguro, the most sought after ones are Tacimirim, Taperapuã and Mundaí; in Cabrália, Coroa Vermelha, Mutary and Arakakaí stand out; Trancoso has the beaches of Nativos dos Coqueiros and Nudism with good options for swimming; in Arraial D’Ajuda, the beaches of Degaldo, Mucugê and Parracho attract lots of tourists; those who visit Caraíva must visit Espelho beach, which, located in the middle of a cliff, is among the ten best ones in Brazil; at the Discovery Coast you can also find the beaches of Santo André, das Tartarugas (turtles) and Santo Antonio. The region’s nature wonders are well known by visitors, especially those who enjoy extreme sports that for now seem to have a closer contact with such attractions. During ultralight flights it’s possible to admire all the beauty of the region, from a different angle. The Discovery Coast has ideal spots for diving, windsurf, surf, kite surf, trekking, horse rides, among others. It’ss worth remembering that the fun doesn’t end here. The region has a much differentiated nightlife. Contrary to what happens in most littoral areas, where the day activities are more attractive than the night ones, at the Discovery Coast night leisure is also a must. It’s difficult to decide whether to enjoy the day or the night. Generally, visitors end up enjoying both, showing that sleeping is not the priority. The hours are so atypical that in many of the region’s cities, shops are open until late, selling clothes, crafts, etc. The events promoted by show houses, beach kiosks and night clubs, which always end at dawn, guarantee the fun throughout the night. The fun never ends. For more than 500 years this region has been visited by various explorers seeking for the most unusual products. Nowadays, the explorers are better known as"tourists", that look for high doses of adrenaline and lots of history, in a scenery composed by sun, sea and tranquility. Source: http://bahia.com.br/

We will visit the old churches such as: São Benedito (built in 1549), The “mother church “of Nossa Senhora da Pena (built in 1535),The Mercy Church (built in 1526), and the ruins of the first Jesuit College from Brazil. In time you can visit, the Monte Pascoal National Park is a must-see if you are here. It was the first sign of land spotted by the Portuguese travelers in 1500. The state-of-the-art Terravista Golf is another one of the top local attractions if you[´re a Golf enthusiast , certainly this is a must seen.
The tour continues to the Municipal Palace (built in 1773), that now a days works as a Museum of Images and Furniture from XVII and XVIII centuries (lower level) and the mayor´s office at the upper level.
DAY 3 – After breakfast, day free to enjoy the attractions of the region. We suggest one of those beautiful beaches such as Nativos (Native´s beach), Coqueiros (Coconut´s beach); and Espelho (Mirror´s beach).Overnight.
DAY 4- After breakfast, day free to enjoy the attractions of the region. We suggest visiting the neighborhood city of Arraial d’ Ajuda, a charming little village, well known for 18 km of picturesque beaches. Reef and form natural swimming pools protect some of these semi-deserted beaches, making them ideal for serene walks or other activities on the beach, or going to Santo André and Cabrália for more historical places.More peaceful than nearby Porto Seguro, Santa Cruz Cabrália - only 23 kilometers from Porto - has a lot to offer tourists. In addition to setting the first Mass said in Brazil in 1500 - a symbolic cross marks the spot on the beach of the Red Crown - has typical landscapes of Southern Bahia, framed by a crystal clear sea protected by reefs and vegetation of the Atlantic forest.
High part has historical buildings and gazebos.One of the most beautiful tours of the area is by boat, going untouched places like the beaches of St. Andrew's Village and banks Crown High corals.At the high end is a historical city, a square where are buildings of the 17th and 18th centuries and a gazebo that enhances all the natural beauty of its surroundings. Already by the sea, customs and creativity of the Pataxó Indians gain a unique space - at the Indian Memorial, on the beach of the Red Crown, there are craft shops full of colorful jewelry, utility and decorative items and a small museum.Overnight.
