Trancoso Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Trancoso is one of Brazil's best-kept coastal secrets — a hilltop village where history, art, and barefoot luxury meet.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Trancoso on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Look out from the Mirante do Quadrado, the village's elevated viewpoint gazing over miles of untouched Atlantic coastline

• Seek out the story of the Praia dos Nativos, the wild beach below the cliffs with centuries of history beneath the sand

• Discover the Casa das Festas do Povo de Trancoso, the cultural heart of local Afro-Brazilian traditions and community life

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

The world has barely discovered Trancoso — this tour makes sure you understand why it's worth the journey.
