Porto Seguro

Porto Seguro is a beach resort town in the state of Bahia, Brazil. The famous Praia de Taperapun is one of the 90 kilometers of tropical beaches on the island. The city is also known for its active nightlife, which is centered on the Passarela do Álcool, a bar-lined promenade. During Carnival season, a big street celebration is formed by flamboyantly dressed performers and parade samba musicians. In Portuguese, Porto Seguro means "Safe Port." The Portuguese were the first to settle here around 1500. In terms of Brazilian history, this is most likely the oldest. Because the original people of Brazil did not create strong stone structures, it is difficult to discover ancient historical sites in Brazil.

Porto Seguro is stunning not just because of its architecture but also because of its magnificent beaches. If you want to enjoy a Spring Vacation-style experience, visit the city between the 12th and 15th of October, when most high schools and colleges are on break and many of them take a trip to Porto Seguro as their final excursion before graduating. The weather in Brazil is often warm all year, and this is especially true in the northern section of the nation, where Porto Seguro is located. The stunning landscapes of Arraial D'Ajuda and Trancoso, with settlements perched high on cliffs and white sand beaches below, make this a really unique destination in Brazil.
