Detailed itinerary

Historians tell us that from 1850 ships came carrying smuggled slaves from the African continent hidden in the basements covered by crates of "chicken d 'angola". So the crews of the ships created a kind of password to announce the arrival of more slaves in Porto: "there is new hen in the port" and hence the name Porto de Galinhas. This is folklore. In fact many people from a region of the interior of Africa called "Chickens" were brought as slaves and landed in the south of Pernambuco, this yes is the origin of the name of the Village. Jewel inlaid in the south coast of Pernambuco, with its beaches of blue waters, and an immense diversity of small colored fishes and marine species, and immense coconut palms Porto de Galinhas gained national and international projection, as much for their natural beauties as for the warm welcome that is given to its visitors.
