TourCity Tour in Alcantara

Located on the mainland and bathed by the ocean, Alcântara has beautiful secrets to be unveiled by the visitor. The rich set of historic mansions and ruins allow you to take a real trip to the past and imagine the customs of colonial times. In areas a little far from the center, it is even possible to find quilombos still preserved by families descended from slaves.

With a strategic location, very close to the equator, the region is one of the best places in the world for launching rockets, which is why the Alcântara Launch Center (CLA) was installed, with a great paradigm of advanced technology with peaceful life and less developed than the city.

Route: Departure from the hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle to the pier (Centro or Ponta D'Areia), with a time to be defined according to the variation of the tide.
