About This Tour
Our tour embarks on a remarkable journey from the bustling port aboard a sleek catamaran, gliding over the open sea towards the enchanting town of Alcântara. Upon arrival, you'll be joined by an expert guide who will lead you through the cobblestone streets of this timeless city, often referred to as "the city that stopped in time". Marvel at over 300 well-preserved colonial buildings, including the iconic ruins of the Matriz de São Matias, which serves as the city's beloved postcard image. Please note, lunch is not included in the tour. However, you'll have the delightful opportunity to explore and choose from a variety of traditional restaurants to enjoy a meal that captures the local flavor. The timing and duration of our tour are tide-dependent, with departure times scheduled between 06:00 AM and 11:00 AM.
