Colonial cobbles between sea and jungle
A gorgeously preserved colonial town on the Green Coast between Rio and São Paulo — whitewashed streets, a bay of islands and beaches, waterfalls, and cachaça distilleries.
Walkable centre (partly flooded at high tide); boats and buses.
Take a slow schooner around the bay, hopping between island beaches and snorkel spots.
Use ride-hailing at night, avoid displaying valuables, and stick to well-touristed areas.
Live music in the historic-centre bars.
