About this place
The Txagrú Mirawê Reserve is located in the center of the Coroa Vermelha district in Santa Cruz Cabrália, close to Mutá Beach in Porto Seguro. Alongside cultural performances, Indigenous hosts offer crafts, talk about the village’s history and customs, roast fish in banana leaves for tasting and invite visitors on a walk through the preserved forest near the traditional dwellings, crossed by a small river. 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 changes according to the time of day, tide, weather, calendar and means of access. Plan your visit with travel, length of stay and current rules in mind, and confirm operational information before leaving.
