Porto Seguro, officially, was the first place that Portuguese Captain Pedro Alvares Cabral set anchor, discovering Brazil in 1500. It has many old monuments, and landscapes of rare natural beauty along the coast.  
A visit to the historic site of Cidade Alta is a must for the thousands of tourists who arrive in Porto Seguro - In 1973 the city was declared a National Monument by Presidential Decree. The first settlement in Brazil, Porto Seguro bears the marks of discovery and the important role it played in the early years of colonization. In the same area is the church of Nossa Senhora da Pena, built in 1535 by the donatary Captain Pero do Campo Tourinho.  
Don't miss the Municipal Palace or House of Misery, dating from the eighteenth century, one of the most beautiful buildings in colonial Brazil, the City Museum or Museum of Discovery, The Church of Mercy and the Way of the Passion. Among ruins of houses left as a national monument, stands the Church of St. Benedict beside the vestiges of the former residence and college of the Jesuits. Fortim was first built by Gonçalo Coelho in 1504 and was strengthened in the seventeenth century.  

Located 30km from Vale Verde, Trancoso was founded in 1586 as a Jesuit village called St. John the Baptist of the Indians. It was rediscovered in the late 1970s by a group of hippies. At that time it was one set of houses on each side of a large lawn with a church at the bottom from which you see the sea.  
 
Today, that space in the center of historical Trancoso is St. John Square and is called the "Quadrado". Since the 1990s, with the increase of tourism in the region, and the construction of roads and airports, the tourism potential of the region has undergone staggering growth.

The settlement was founded by this name in white Christian tradition as a tribute to Thomas de Sousa and the first Jesuits who arrived here in 1549 in three ships: Conceição, Salvador, and Ajuda - which would become the names of cities and their first churches.  
The construction of the church of Nossa Senhora d'Ajuda actually began in 1550 because the Jesuits only arrived in late December 1549. Today it hosts a great gathering of the faithful.  
 
The city now covers a plateau and plain, surrounded by rainforest and mangroves. The main beaches are Mucugê, Pitinga, Apaga-Fogo and Araçaípe.

Caraiva is a small fishing village south of Porto Seguro in the southeast part of the state of Bahia and has a permanent population of 1,500. Located in the APA Trancoso / Caraiva and near the National Park of Monte Pascoal. It is 69 km from the center of Porto Seguro and 740 km from Salvador, between the Caraiva river, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pataxós Indian reserve.  
 
Part of the ride to town is on dirt roads, which helps preserve the pristine nature of this settlement.  
Caraíva is one of the most sought-after sites in this region by tourists and ecotourists.
