It is not unusual to hear the name ‘Trancoso’ and ‘paradise’ mentioned in the same breath. Located on the southern coast of Bahia, “the Discovery Coast”, where the Portuguese first landed in 1500. Trancoso is a district of Porto Seguro, a historical bustling city and home to the nearest airport (approx. 29kms, 1.15 hours from Trancoso).
It is along the Discovery Coast that we find some of the most magnificent beaches. Untouched by mass tourism and relatively unknown; those who have discovered these hidden gems are blown away by the beauty of the coastline, which could just as easily be the Caribbean as Bahia, Brazil.
Now, imagine palm tree lined white sandy beaches, tropical vegetation, colourful cliffs and crystal-clear water… and add to this a charming village with a laid-back sophisticated charm. This is understated yet sophisticated destination of Trancoso.
