At the time indicated, we'll pick you up from your hotel in São Luís. From here, we'll start our day trip to Alcântara to learn about this city's history.

Upon arrival, we'll get off the boat and enjoy a guided tour around Alcântara, starting with its port. We'll continue along Rua Ladeira do Jacaré, 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. We will discuss the Empire of the Feast of the Divine Holy Spirit, celebrated here, which is one of the most important religious events in the region.

Another iconic place in Alcântara that we'll visit is the Capela das Mercês, offering beautiful views over the Atlantic. We'll learn about the history and importance of religion in this town by visiting the Alcântara Church and exploring other museums showcasing the lives of the locals.

After a 5 or 6-hour tour of the city, we'll drop you back off in São Luís.
