This place is part of Rede Bem Bahia’s Regional Guide and helps visitors understand the natural, historical, cultural and scenic diversity of the Costa do Descobrimento. The experience varies with the time of day, tide, weather, calendar and means of access. Plan your visit considering travel, time on site and current rules, and confirm operational information before setting out.
The land route ends at the bank of the Caraíva River. Entry to the village is by canoe operated by the community; vehicles remain in the parking area on the other side.
Take part in a community-led experience, listen to Pataxó narratives, learn about their knowledge, cultural expressions and crafts, and respect rules on recording and visits. Allow time to notice the details presented in the attraction description and take photographs responsibly.
Arrange your visit directly with the community or an authorized operator, and ask permission before photographing people, rituals or private spaces.
