Arraial d’Ajuda

A quiet little village on the Atlantic coast, separated from Porto Seguro by the Buranhém River, making it not only a charming tourist destination with pristine beaches but also a large mangrove growing region. This is the heart of a ‘no stress’ culture where you already begin to relax and feel the city’s bustle slip away as you sit down on the ferry.


Arraial d’Ajuda is built on a high rock from which you can see incredible views of both the sea and the picturesque village centre. One of the oldest churches in Brazil can also be found here.

Brightly coloured houses set against the green tropical foliage are characteristic of the region. Buildings may be no higher than two storeys. The residents managed to keep asphalt away from the tiny village streets.


Evenings in the lively Rua Mucugê: you’ll see thatch-roofed open air restaurants and bars alternate with souvenir shops. Here and there, live music is being played (Musica Popular Brasileiro).
