5 days in Porto Seguro Itinerary

In a sense, Porto Seguro is where Brazil as a country began, marking the spot where Portuguese explorers first arrived in the 16th century.

Get some historical perspective at Centro Historico and Igreja Matriz Nossa Senhora da Pena. Get a sense of the local culture at Quadrado and Nossa Senhora da Ajuda Church. There's lots more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Praia do Espelho, look for gifts at Shopping Avenida, don't miss a visit to Largo da Ajuda, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Pitinga Beach.

To see where to stay, photos, traveler tips, and other tourist information, refer to the Porto Seguro route planning website .

In May, plan for daily highs up to 31°C, and evening lows to 24°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 18th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
