Barra Velha
Horseback riding along the beach to Barra Velha, the Pataxó Indian village, is an option if walking or boating the 6km isn't appealing. When going to the village, bring lots of water and small bills. On April 19 the village celebrates the Festa do Indio with traditional games and dancing.
