My Trip to Morro de Sao Paulo<\/h2>\n
If you are thinking of visiting Morro de Sao Paulo I suggest you to read this post. It\u2019s about the trip I did in May 2019.<\/p>\n
First of nothing, the truth is that Morro in peak season is quite different to Morro in low season, but let me show you the best and the not so good of both seasons.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Morro de Sao Paulo is at 2,5 hs. by catamaran from Salvador de Bah\u00eda, in the center of Brazil. My tip for you:<\/strong> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Once you get to Morro, you will be met by the \u201cwheelbarrow guys\u201d who will take you to pay the mandatory eco-fee of R$ 15<\/p>\n How is this?? The island is only passable on foot, and, as it is on top of a \u201cmorro\u201d, there are a lot of proups and downs , so it\u2019s complicated with luggage (we know that you will take a big suitcase, although summer clothes are “light”), so there is no choice of avoiding this.<\/p>\n The guys take your luggage in the wheelbarrow and the cost depends on its size. They accompany you to your hotel walking. If you need them at the return, you just need to see them around there, and arrange with them the day and time that you need their help.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beaches are numbered: Primeira (1st), Segunda (2nd), Terca (3rd), Quarta (4th) and Quinta (5th) , known as well as \u201cPraia Encanto\u201d (Encanto Beach)<\/p>\n The \u201cPrimera beach\u201c is the one in the downtown and closet o the port, and where are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, gifts shops, travel agencies and so.<\/p>\n My tip for you: And if you are hungry, there are some booths selling \u201ctapioca\u201d and \u201cacai\u201d. Acai is a dessert, made of a typical fruit with the same name, and you can add on your favorite toppings!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Segunda Beach is the gastronomic pole: there is a wooden path that connects all the bars and restaurants in front of the sea.<\/p>\n My tip for you: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Terceira is very short, and you will only see fishing boats\u2026 keep walking!<\/p>\n The Quarta beach is my favorite! It\u2019s loooong and very beautiful! At the middle water I turquoise and the sand is almost white! Paradise!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n To the Quinta only the braves can get. It takes more than 2 hours walking.Pros and Cons of traveling during High Season

<\/h3>\nHow to get to Morro de Sao Paulo?<\/h3>\n
\nThere are 2 schedules for the direct services: 09.00 hs. and 14.30 hs. \u2013 Return: 11.30 hs. or 15.00 hs.
\nThere is also a cheaper service with a connection:\u00a0 catamar\u00e1n Salvador-Itaparica + bus + cataraman Itaparica-Morro de Sao Paulo. It also has more frequency!. I bought this one to Cassi Turismo, which has an office at the port in Salvador, and near the port in Morro de Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n\n
\nBut WATCH-OUT! I recommend you 1 overnight pre and 1 post Morro in Salvador. In order to not risk your international flights to Bah\u00eda. Moreover, the historic center (well known as Pelourinho) is very picturesque, with its colorful houses and Stone streets, it\u2019s worth it visiting!<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/trips-southamerica.com\/webold\/wp-content\/uploads\/morro-do-sao-paulo-01_redimensionar.jpg\")

<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/em><\/strong>Between Primeira and Segunda beaches there is a deck that works as a viewpoint, and where sunsets steal all the cameras!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/trips-southamerica.com\/webold\/wp-content\/uploads\/morro-do-sao-paulo-07_redimensionar.jpg\")

\nIt\u2019s exhausting but the whole way is worth it!<\/p>\n\n
