About this experience

Discover the magic of Mangue Seco, a charming village located on the border between Bahia and Sergipe, on an unforgettable tour that starts at 7am. A unique destination, blessed with stunning dunes, extensive coconut groves, radiant sun and lush beaches, promises a memorable experience.

To explore the rustic beauty of this region, we suggest renting a buggy, the perfect way to travel its picturesque dirt roads and soak up the stunning views to the fullest.

The cost of the buggy and lunch is not included in the package, therefore it is recommended to bring cash to pay directly to the local buggy association. As an additional highlight, our tour offers an exciting schooner or speedboat ride, taking your adventure to a new level of enchantment. We ended our day at 5:30 pm, returning to the hotel with memories that will last forever.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to discover Mangue Seco, a hidden paradise that awaits your visit.
