Porto Seguro Visit to the Jaqueira Indigenous Reserve

About this activity

Enjoy a unique and immersive journey into Brazil’s Indigenous heritage with a guided visit to the Reserva Indígena da Jaqueira, located north of Porto Seguro within 887 hectares of preserved native forest. This experience offers a close look at the traditions, customs, and cultural legacy of the Pataxó people, who have dedicated themselves to protecting their history and way of life.

Your tour begins at 8:00 AM with hotel pickup in central or north Porto Seguro. Upon arrival at the village, you will be welcomed by a Pataxó guide who will share the history of their community through an engaging and meaningful talk. Participate in traditional activities such as Indigenous dance, urucum body painting, and archery practice.
