Introducing Porto Seguro

The state’s second most visited destination, Porto Seguro swarms with Brazilian package tourists who come from all across the country for partying and beach action. Not surprisingly, there’s well-developed infrastructure here, with hundreds of hotels and colorful buildings (none over two stories) that lean toward a colonial aesthetic. This is, after all, the region where Portuguese sailors first landed in the New World, and you can see relics from those early settlement days. Aside from history, Porto Seguro is really only for inveterate nightlife seekers who don’t mind the crowds. Otherwise, most travelers linger in town only long enough to change money and catch the ferry toward Arraial d’Ajuda.
