visit old town and center of porto seguro

The environment, cultural heritage and wild life in Porto Seguro Bahia have also been well preserved, as your Porto Seguro Brazil Guide will point out. There are dunes, clean sandy beaches with clear blue water, colorful coral reefs with a plethora of fishes, turtles and...
Day trip to "Praia dos Espelhos"
elisamen99 Says:
Although considered to be one of the best beaches in Brazil, this beach was not one of my favourites. The beach shack, although very good, was the most expensive one we visited in Brazil. Its prices are more expensive than many restaurants in Portugal.However, take a short...
Mother Teresa Ranch (Fazenda Mae Tereza)
elisamen99 Says:
An excellent way to relax. Access to the ranch can be made by boat or by road - but you must be booked beforehand.Horses, canoes, hammocks(!) and a waterslide are at your disposition during the entire day.Shortly after you arrive they take you on a tour of the ranch in a...
tanaka: japanese restaurant
quartinb Says:

Toa Toa: TOA TOA
RudoElCojonudo Says:
Toa Toa is a night club between Porto Seguro and Cabralia, just in the beach.The entrace will cost about 25$R and they maybe give you a T-sirt. ;-PThe beers are 3$R and caipirinhas 5$R, I think... but you can buy some cheaper drinks outside before going inside in the local...
the street: passarela by night
quartinb Says:
not only for shoping, passarela do alcool offers all kind of entertainment. since 6 p.m. they start to gather and opening the camelots selling all kind of handycraft, clothes, food, drinks, fruit, vegetables, yu name it. around midnite they start to dismount everything, a...
slowly to the other side
quartinb Says:
leaving a third world south american lanscape wich is porto seguro two minutes sailing of the river burahem to the other side. there you will find a developed and of the beatten path like arraial d'ajuda mostly on the centre.and miles of beautifull beaches.
shopping mall
quartinb Says:
and yes a small shopping mall is available in PORTO SEGURO, but with, the passarella to alcool, a couple hundreds meters away sure is not a must do activity. anyway ( tip for girls...) you can see a dozen shops and take a cup of coffey.when i was there it was here that i got...
passarela do alcool: capeta
quartinb Says:
a big camelot street you´ll be abble to buy almost everything.even food and drinks are available i strongly recomend "capeta", sold mostly, on colorfull stands, like in the picture, along the "passarela do alcool".
fortune tellers
quartinb Says:
in every corner we ran across with a typical BAHIANA fortune teller. it don't coast to much, and if yu are curious about yur future, well, just one step forward and she reads all that yu want to know . accurate or not, is for you to decide and ...believe.
hunting traps
quartinb Says:
in our visit to the indian reservation they did show us theyr hunting "modus operandi" . a dozen traps and with a wonderfull and engeneous skills we get to know quit a lot . sure is a nice morning learning and knowing the habits of the pataxos " grandparents"

Not having any kind of "procuration" from the wonderfull, kind and warm people of this part of the " estado da bahia " i swear that you will not find any danger.
Of course you have to take safety measures as any other part of the world.

thou' very professional and of course very kind,
if yu run across with a brasilian guide, beware...
Unique Suggestions: ..because they want to "sell" their "products" doing something of the beatten path and out of their control is very dificult to achive. a lot of "obstacles" are shown to us and well, when we know it they manage to deceive yu. so...
Fun Alternatives: ...if possible, before leave and if yu got the chance, ask a brasilian friend some tips. and on location allways ask the locals about everything, cos they are very friendly i asure yu.

Don't make the mistake of going to Porto Seguro on a week long holiday. One week is just not enough. Go for at least two weeks. There are so many things worth seeing (see all my tips!).
Its excellent beaches - and the fact that there are so many other things to do. It's a...
