Arraial da Ajuda is located in the South of Bahia, a region with endless beaches, sweet coconut water, huge variety of food with African and Indian influences. The sun shines all year round and the people are very welcoming.

Arraial da Ajuda is part of Porto Seguro, the city where the Portuguese first docked more than 500 years ago. It´s the most important historical city in Brazil. Porto Seguro is now a big destination but Arraial still keeps its village feeling. From there you can visit other interesting villages such as Trancoso and Caraiva, the latter still doesnt have eletric light.

The village of Arraial da Ajuda offers many options to people who enjoy walks on the beach and also night life. The parties start only after midnight and finish in the morning. For those who like day time, there are many boat trips and deserted beaches to explore.

You can get to Porto Seguro from any city in Brazil, and then you would need to cross the river in a ferry boat to get to Arraial.
