Additional Information

The final destination of Tomé de Souza’s inaugural journey led to the establishment of Salvador and the Arraial de Nossa Senhora d’Ajuda, which serendipitously became Brazil’s inaugural site of Catholic pilgrimage due to the renowned ‘Miracle of the Holy.’ In 1560, a spring of pristine water emerged at the base of the church, and up to the present time, it remains a symbol of the believers’ faith and restoration.

safe harbor - Passing through Porto Seguro and not going to these points is not acceptable. Culture and history come together. There are 2 places that deserve the attention of those who tour Porto Seguro.

Mute beach is excellent - We stayed at the Waves Resort in Porto safe and we went 1 day Arraial DAjuda, very nice place and quiet beach. In Porto I recommend the alcohol walkway in the centre

Not sought for the walk - Total lack of respect. I bought the tour and it was as confirmed, I stayed at the reception waiting as agreed until 8:40 and nobody came to pick me and my mother. I texted, called, and nobody answered anything.
