If you're in São Luís, join us on this day trip to Alcântara to visit this historic city. We'll cross the baía de São Marcos to travel back in time!

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll meet at Cais da Praia Grande in São Luís. From here, we'll start our day trip to Alcântara to learn about this city's history. Let's go!

Firstly, we'll take you to the port, where a speedboat will be waiting to pick us up. For 1 to 1.5 hours, we'll sail around the Baía de São Marco, a bay in the north Atlantic Ocean in Brazil, and we'll enjoy panoramic views with Alcântara on one side and São Luís on the other.

Upon arrival, we'll get off the boat and enjoy a guided tour of Alcântara, starting with its port. We'll continue along Rua Ladeira do Jacaré, a street that connects the port with the city center, where we can admire the city's typical small houses.

Next, we'll go to Casa do Divino, a building with a facade decorated in Portuguese tiles. Did you know that the Empire of the Feast of the Divine Holy Spirit is celebrated here? We'll talk about this annual celebration, which is one of the most important religious events in the region.

Another of the many iconic places in Alcântara that we'll visit is the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos and the area of Pelourinho. We'll also explore other interesting museums that will allow us to learn about the lives of the locals.

Afterward, you can grab lunch on your own. It'll be the perfect opportunity to try exquisite dishes of local cuisine that you're sure to love.

After lunch, we'll drop you off in São Luís, where we'll say our goodbyes 6 hours after pickup.
