Travel Guide to Santos, Brazil

Santos is a beautiful Brazilian port city located in Baía de Todos os Santos. The land here is very fertile and the nature is beautiful, so the continent has quickly attracted European settlers. Indian tribes, which originally lived in this area, did not resist the emergence of newcomers and even contributed to the settlement and development of the town.

Santos is known for its beautiful, rich and fertile terrain, on which is grown one of the best sorts of coffee – Bourbon. This coffee has a sophisticated bitter-sweet, slightly buttery flavor with a slight acidity, which is not found in the ordinary Santos. The city is cut by small bays, but the length of the beach surrounding the city is striking with its length. Santos offers visitors a wide range of things to do and things to see. The city features a large number of interesting museums: Museum of Coffee, Marine Museum, Museum of Religious Art, and Museum of Fishing. Tourists are always welcome to visit old churches that are open to the public - the cathedral designed in the neo-gothic style, Santo Amaro Castle, as well as a magnificent botanical garden and the zoological park named Orkidario, the city aquarium with rare representatives of the ocean.

Santos also provides visitors with numerous services for those who want to spend holidays in an active way: the incredible, full of impressions yacht riding, rides on boats and cutters in Baía de Todos os Santos bay, fishing in the Lagoa da Saudade lake, rafting and eco-tours to the surrounding forests, as well as wide choice of beach games, one of which is tamboreu - a game invented by the Donadelli brothers, which is something close to volleyball and badminton.
