What to expect
At 9:00 AM we depart for the famous Praia de Santo André, where the João de Tiba River meets the sea. You will enjoy around 2.5 hours in this paradise, with time for sunbathing, swimming, walking along the shore, and tasting refreshing cocktails served in fresh coconuts, along with delicious snacks from local beach huts. Lunch takes place at Pimenta Malagueta, a riverside restaurant offering a varied buffet featuring seafood and the best of Bahian cuisine. Meals are served by weight, starting at R$89.99 per kilo, and accompanied by live music and a beautiful riverfront view. Next, you’ll experience the traditional mangrove mud bath—practiced for over 20 years and known for its “magical” benefits—followed by a visit to the famous Ilha do Sol. There, you can sample regional sweets, artisanal liqueurs, peppers, and take fun photos at iconic spots like the “erotic coconut tree” and the arch of love.
