Solares Tips

Beach Huts

Nowhere else in Brazil is there anything like it. You have to see it to believe it.

The beach clubs of Porto Seguro collaborate to offer nightly dancing, music and entertainment, with Brazilian and internationally known stars at Carnaval and all year round. Visit them and choose your favorite beach club!

Paradise Aquatic Water Park

It´s the biggest aquatic park in the northeast of Brazil, and is located in Arraial d'Ajuda.

Historical center

The Historic City center has become an obligatory tourist visit, located in the High City with a gorgeous view of the ocean and coastline for miles to the north and south.

With the first nucleus of housing in Brazil still in evidence, the High City is considered a monument by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico Nacional (National Heritage Institute). The majority of its buildings date from the first century of Portuguese colonization.

Pedro Álvares Cabral, the Portuguese navigator, disembarked here for the first time in the year 1500, discovering Brasil.

Tourists will see the great cross that was built in remembrance of supposedly the first Catholic mass to be celebrated in Brazil, in the Monte Pascoal National Park.

Purchases

The nightlife in Porto Seguro starts on the Passarela do Álcool promenade, an ideal place to shop for keepsakes and presents.

On a stroll along the Passarela, it's impossible not to purchase at least half a dozen printed t-shirts, due to the enormous selection and quantity of prints from which to choose.

There are innumerable stores where you can find diverse folk art works, such as hammocks, towels, picture frames, jewelry, and other souvenirs.

Also try the famous drink "capeta", sold in the numerous stands along the Passarela, where the locals commercialize this variety of tropical cocktails made with fresh juices and vodka.
