Sitting on Brazil's east coast, the city of Porto Seguro has fine weather and fascinating local history. The city's profile was raised as it hosted many training camps of the teams preparing for the country's World Cup tournament in 214. Given Porto Seguro's fame as one of the Portuguese settlers' first landing spots of centuries ago, it gives even more weight to their claim as the gateway to Brazil. Hiring a car in Porto Seguro will allow travellers the ease and convenience of enjoying many of the local beauty spots and bountiful beaches, as well as the ability to explore further afield.
If you want to discover how Brazil's indigenous people live, a trip to the nearby Jaqueira Indigenous Protection Reservation comes highly recommended. Take a guided tour and discover the customs and traditions that the proud Pataxó people observe, before watching one of their traditional dance circles. Hire a car in Porto Seguro and the reservation is just a few minutes' drive away via the tourism office on the coast. Recife de Fora Sea Park is your chance to observe marine life off the coast, with a snorkelling trip under the clear waters to see the beautiful reef which thrives in the region.
