Sights in Trancoso

  1. Quadrado

    Trancoso is known for its wide, grassy and, most importantly, car-free quadrado(square). This central plaza has a grazing horse or two and football-playing lads and a small church at one end. Surrounding it are tropical foliage and colorful buildings, which house expensive boutiques and open-air bars and restaurants. The sight of the quadrado at night is magical.

  2. Praia do Espelho

    Rated among Brazil's top-10 beaches, Praia do Espelho is 27km south of Trancoso and 14km north of CaraĆ­va. Protective offshore reefs create calm, warm, transparent waters, while reefs closer to shore create natural pools at low tide. The shore is thick with coconut palms.
