By car, bus, ship or plane, all the ways lead to Porto Seguro, the starting point for those who want to experience “live and in full color” the birthplace of Brazil, or for those who want to practice sports, try some good food, learn the "lambaeróbica" or simply relax, forget the day-to-day routine, sit back and think about nothing except the beautiful seascapes, blue skies and the sun that shines throughout the year. It is an ecological paradise that offers a mix of history, culture, art and natural wonders. There are 90km of beaches protected by coral reefs, rivers, streams, coconut groves and the lush "Mata Atlântica". Travel agencies organize tours that can last from 3 hours to more than one day. Schooners leave daily to Recife de Fora, coral reefs that at low tide form pools with crystal-clear waters. Other popular options are an excursion up the Buranhém River or trips to Coroa Alta, Trancoso and Caraíva. The city never sleeps! During the day the leisure options go from beaches to trekking in the forest; at night, the tourist can have fun at the "Passarela do álcool", a street where cocktails made with fruits and vodka are sold in colorful kiosks. The nightlife goes on at the coast with reggae music, parties and live music on the restaurants and beach huts by the sea. Sometimes, those huts have presentations of national and even international singers and bands. The commerce in Porto Seguro works in strange hours. Some shopping malls and handicraft stores are opened until midnight. The city is a good place to eat. It can satisfy either those who want to get a taste of more sophisticated dishes or those who are looking for a good and cheap meal.
