Arraial D’Ajuda Sights

Sights in Arraial D’Ajuda

  1. Beaches

    Praia Mucugê is Arraial's main tourist beach and is crowded with barracas and blasted by music. As you continue south, Praia do Parracho is also built up, but with beach clubs and a few condominium complexes. Both of these beaches are sheltered by offshore reefs. Around the point, beautiful Praia Pitinga has red striped sandstone cliffs, pretty, calm waters and a few barracas. South of Pitinga, Praia da Lagoa Azul and Praia Taípe are backed by tall cliffs, and face stronger waves.

  2. Eco Parque

    Billed as the largest water park in Latin America, Eco Parque has long, twisting water slides, a wave pool and a slow 'river' you can float down on rafts. There's also a tiroleza (zipline), kayaks for rent and heaps of other activities. Big-name bands from Salvador play here for summer concerts.
