Brazil is known the world over for the beaches of Rio and the excitement of Carnival, but when Brazilians travel they head for the golden sands and emerald seas of Trancoso, Bahia, Brazil. Easily accessible by air and approximately 800 kilometers south of Salvador, the beauty of Trancoso’s beaches is known throughout Brazil.
One of the earliest settlements founded by the Portuguese in Brazil (1586), Trancoso is a village of incredible natural beauty. Its ideal year round climate coupled with the intimacy and privacy of a small village offer the perfect escape for those seeking privacy, exotic location and the best beaches in Brazil. Below the cliffs of the village you will find many kilometers of unspoiled white sand beaches bordered to the north and south by rivers flowing into the sea. Here you will find large sand dunes and small natural pools for swimming and relaxing by the sea.
Trancoso’s shopping Quadrado overlooking the ocean has many historical sites plus many small stores with local arts and crafts and superb dining. At night this area is transformed into one of the most magical locations in Brazil. The entire Quadrado is lit by torch and candlelight and natives and vacationers alike can be found strolling under the moon and stars, frequenting the many stores with offerings from local crafts to the latest Sao Paulo fashion designs and dining in the many excellent restaurants of the area. Later in the night the sounds of music and dance can be heard as young and old alike join in the traditional festivities of the area.
