Trancoso

At less than five minutes from Casa Angatu, you just have to follow the path on stilts to cross a mangrove to reach the fine sands of the Praia dos Nativos (beach of indigenous people).

The historic and cultural centre of the village, the Quadrado de Trancoso is registered as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Founded by the Jesuits at the debut of the Portuguese colonisation, Trancoso was originally named Saint-Jean in order to facilitate the propagation of Christianity across Brazil.
