TRAVEL PACKAGE: TROPICAL BRAZILIAN BEACHES

The best Brazilian beaches

The best Brazilian beaches – if by that we mean almost constant warm waters and sunny days, picturesque fishing villages, eco-locations largely cut off from the outside, or reserved tropical resorts – are in the Northeast. Rio and many other Brazilian regions have exceptional beaches, but they are not typically tropical or all year-round beaches.

The major Brazilian references for tropical beach resorts are Salvador da Bahia, Recife and Fortaleza. These cities have extraordinary beaches and are great hubs to other wonderful beaches, standing some miles away…

There are, however, other top tropical beach references in the Brazilian Northeast, rather distant from these cities, such as Maceio, Ilheus, Itacaré, Natal just to quote some examples.

Travel packages involving Brazilian tropical beaches

The possibilities of a travel package in the Northeast are countless. You can stay some days in Salvador da Bahia (or in Praia do Forte, just some miles away), and some days in Porto Seguro or Ilheus (also in Bahia state, but some hundreds miles south), or some days in Salvador da Bahia and some days in Porto Galinhas, or Maceio (some hundred miles north), to cite just some examples. The choice is yours.

There are many dozens of great destinations in the Brazilian Northeast, which makes the choice very difficult. We can, anyway, identify some styles and types, which are listed below.

First choice
Isolated tropical resorts with animation and the possibility of exotic tours nearby

If you want selected tropical beach resorts, consider the following four destinations:

- Praia do Forte (near Salvador da Bahia)
- Ilha de Comandatuba (near Ilhéus)

Third choice: tropical beaches around big cities

If you want the animation and the opportunities of big cities, besides the beach tropical life, you should consider, before any other option, Salvador da Bahia. Salvador da Bahia breathes a special blending made of musical spirit, African roots, and exotic cuisine (besides de beach life).

Fortaleza and Recife aren’t so great first options. But these cities have, near them, great beaches that might be a good option…

Number of days for this Brazilian Travel Package

For multi-destination travel in the Northeast stays of 3-4 days minimum in each destination is very common. This is not too much.

Whatever your option, you will have many opportunities for tours and trips around your destination or destinations. You don’t have to confine your stay to the resort or the city you chose. You can travel around a lot. All depends on your preferences.

Air flights

Do not forget: round-trip air tickets are much cheaper than one-way ones. So, you have advantages in returning to your Brazilian arrival airport and first destination…

Think also in Brazilian Air Pass, if you plan to fly a lot in Brazil. If you don’t, buses are the best option. Just look for information at your hotel, or at a local tourist office.
