João de Tiba River Boat Trip

If you are in Porto Seguro and want to see other places in the state of Bahia, be sure to join us on this boat trip on the João de Tiba River. Incredible landscapes await us!

Description

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Porto Seguro and head to Vila de Santo André, where we'll take a boat trip on the João de Tiba River, also known as the Santa Cruz River. This river is located on the border between the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais.

Upon arrival at the embarkation point, we'll board the boat to navigate the João de Tiba River until its confluence with the Mutum River. At this point, the boat's engines will be turned off as we pass through a narrow natural tunnel formed by native trees.

After this stretch, we'll reach a spot with an orchard and houses built on the banks of the João de Tiba River. Here, we'll disembark to meet the locals and pick seasonal fruits. Participants will learn about typical foods and plants used for natural remedies of the native community. There will also be an opportunity to hear about the history of the river and, if desired, do some horseriding.

Finally, we'll return to the boat to head back to Santo André. From there, we'll return to your hotel in Porto Seguro, with arrival scheduled 8 hours after pickup.
