Our Location

The area of Porto Seguro

Porto Seguro, located in the northeastern state of Bahia, is a 1h and 45min flight from Sao Paulo (If you are coming from the U.S.A., you will likely need to take a connecting flight in Sao Paulo). It is right in the heart of Brazil's "Discovery Coast". This historic region is where Pedro Álvares Cabral first landed in 1500, marking the beginning of Brazil's recorded history.

The area is rich in cultural heritage, with many buildings from the colonial era still standing and protected by UNESCO. Some houses are still occupied by descendants of the original families, while others have been transformed into high-quality restaurants, stores, and small hotels.
