Porto Seguro,day first

Porto Seguro is as vibrant as any part of Brazil. A schooner will take you from the bank of the city’s Buranhem River 15 miles out to the Recife de Fora Marine Park for an exploration at sea. A city stairway will guide you up to the Cidade Historica to take it all in from above, alongside Capoeira demonstrations. And the Passarela Do Alcool, a street fair filled with craft carts, restaurants and enthusiastic performers will invite you to participate in Brazil’s cultural tradition.
