In case you are planning to come to Porto de Galinhas, here is a tip… It can be that cristal clear blue that we immediately think about when talking about Porto de Galinhas, or you can even find the water with the color of a river…
Good morning everybody! We are just starting a new day. This time in one of the most requested, best known and most beautiful places in Brazil. We are in Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco. This is the place many people choose to spend their honeymoon, their vacation, they really want to visit, because it is fantastic.
You have already seen some images in the beginning of the vídeo, proving that the place is really wonderful, and here, where we are right now is Porto de Galinhas Beach. Often people think that everything around this coast is Porto de Galinhas, but in fact it is not.
This is Porto de Galinhas Beach, but we are going to explain how this place works and what you can do here. We are already in the middle of the day, because early in the morning we have started one of the most traditional tours of the place,
And of course we are going to tell you how it was. We are going to go back in time a little bit, to show everything from the beginning. But without any doubt, we had to start from here, the most famous spot of this fantastic resort. Do you want more tips about here?

So, let’s go back a bit, you will understand how the place works and what we are going to do here. Come on! We are on a buggy tour called side to side. A precious tip, if you don’t have much time in Porto de Galinhas
But want to visit as much as possible, this is the right choice for you. The tour starts here, close to the Port of Suape, at Muro Alto Beach. And it is from here that we will start the tour across the resort.
In Muro Alto you can find two different types of water in the gigantic 2,5 km natural pool. It can be that cristal clear blue that we immediately think about when talking about Porto de Galinhas,
Or you can even find the water with the color of a river, which is what we are seeing now, unfortunately! We arrived here on a day when the wind is coming from the north. When the wind comes from there, there is an arm of the river
That brings its water too, and then the small pool is not so clear, it is the color of the river, very dark, very yellowish, but still calm like a pool. When the wind blows from the Southeast, just the water from the ocean comes here, and the small pool gets absolutely clear,
Blue, very beautiful. Sadly, we are not seeing this scenery, but you may be lucky when you get here. Another curiosity is that this enormous barrier of stones is always visible, even when there are high tides, like during full moon.
The water doesn’t cover the barrier, at most some small waterfalls can appear in some points, but the barrier is still visible. So, the small pool is there during the whole year. You can even cross and get to the pool. It is a bit far, but you can easily reach it.
If the tide is a little high, the water can cover you until here. But during low tide, the water gets to your thighs, maximum, so you cross until the stones without any problem. I thought it was called Muro Alto because of this wall. It is not called Muro Alto because of this wall.
It is called Muro Alto because os this wall here. There is a white sand wall surrounding the whole beach, do you see? It is because of this wall here, at the tip of Porto de Galinhas resort, not because of that one.
It could be because of that one, don’t you think? It’s so beautiful. Now we are crossing Cupe Beach. The beach is down there and there is a path for the buggy up here, so you can go around the entire coast and enjoy this spectacular color of the sea.
Cupe Beach is stronger than the others, so you have to be careful when you bathe in it, because the waves are heavier. Even so, many people go swimming, but then it’s not calm as a pool, there are a lot of waves around here.
There’s even a red flag over there! You need to be careful! An interesting thing here in Porto de Galinhas is that vehicles of any type and also lighting are not allowed on the beaches, due to the spawning of the turtles, which happens here.
So, for preservation, you cannot have these factors hindering the lives of the turtles. And we’re jumping here now, let’s hold on tight, because we’re leaving the shore and going inside this beautiful scenery. Look at this, a lot of coconut trees. Let’s continue our buggy tour.
We’ve just arrived at the main point, Porto de Galinhas Beach. Back here are the natural pools. To make it clear, all of this is Ipojuca city. And then, of course, there are several beaches, but here is the center, and carries the famous name Porto de Galinhas.
The water here has completely changed the color. You are seeing on the images from above, how beautiful the color variations are. So, here is a point where you need to spend some time and enjoy everything the place has to offer. This spectacular view of Porto de Galinhas beach
With color variations in the water is not by chance. These are natural pools, they are coral formations, and when you come here, they are very close to the beach. With low tide, you can go there and enjoy all this beauty.
So, here’s a tip for you, when you come to Porto de Galinhas beach, come at very low tide, so you can enjoy the splendor of the natural pools and the corals coming out of the water. To get to some of them, that are a bit further in the sea,
You can take a raft ride, very traditional here, but only happens at low tide. Unfortunately, we are here on a day when the tide is not going down much, so the tours don’t happen. The lowest tide will happen only at the beginning of the night, so today there is no tour.
If you want to be sure that your tour will happen, come in a period of new moon or full moon, when the tide is lower and higher. Today we will not be able to take the tour, but here are some images from above, to show you how beautiful these formations are.
Now we’re here in Pontal do Maracaípe. The buggy leaves the shore a little and goes inside the mangrove. The tour always has a stop here, but the raft tour is optional. If you want to do it, the price is R$ 30,00 per person. The complete tour goes until the coast again,
And then comes back here. This place is very interesting, because Sea-Horses come here to the mangrove to breed, and you can eventually see them. Let’s see if we’re lucky. It’s a beautiful day, so let’s go on this tour.
Well, now we’ve arrived at Pontal do Maracaípe, the place where the mangrove meets the sea. This is the last stop of this buggy and raft tour. From here, people go back to the inn, and we are going to have lunch, after all, everyone
Is hungry, it’s the middle of the day, the sun is strong, time to hydrate and refill your energy. We are here at João’s Restaurant, which is right by the sea, it’s delicious, you sit here at the table, there’s a pool, and then the beach over there.
We have already ordered some snacks, coconut water, “agulhinha” fish with manioc, and “coalho” cheese, super traditional here. Let’s try! It’s not manioc, it’s “macaxeira”. It’s “macaxeira”, it’s “aipim”, whatever you want. This fish here is called “agulhinha”, it’s very traditional here, and you eat it with your hands, see?
You take off the tail, the head, there’s just one central spine, and then you eat it, very common here in snacks, and this is what we’re going to do now, come here! It’s time to eat the main course, which are actually some things. This is a Hawaiian Shrimp with pineapple.
This one is “Dourado” fish, super tasty, with salad, vegetables, tomatoes, there are many things, potatoes, mashed pumpkin, rice with almonds and there’s even fish “pirão” over there, everything looks so delicious, I’ll have to start eating! This one is “cartola” of “brigadeiro”, folks, banana with butter cheese, they’re down here. Sugar and cinnamon too.
But you have to look at this … this “brigadeiro” over the top … do you see??? It really is “cartola”, but this one is incredible. Tiago, do you want to try it? I really would like!
I’ll give you … take it … see if it’s good … tell me, I want details of the flavor! It’s impossible not to be good! I smeared myself completely! I like bananas, I like “brigadeiro” … so, is it good? Delicious! Look at us now in the center of Porto de Galinhas.
It’s a nice place to come after the sun goes down. There are stores here, restaurants, bars, there’s a lot to do, we’ll show you everything, but pay attention, it’s expensive, we were checking the prices and they are a little high, so be careful, make a bargain.
But it is a very nice and pleasant place. There’s even a sign with the name of the city for you to take a picture, you just have to be patient to have no one together. Come on, let’s go visit the city center!
Back to the inn, the eyes are closing, but as we have no limits, we will eat again, and this time we will eat a pizza that is made here, at the inn, with dried meat and “coalho” cheese. Have you ever eaten this kind of pizza? I haven’t! I’m going to eat now.
For your information, there’s another one on the way, okay? Is there another one coming? It is true, but that one is more common, it’s marguerita… good … very different from dried meat. Well, I like both, so the combination … and I like pizza … so the combination is perfect.
We had a really good day and we’re really tired, so, we are going to sleep! But there’s a lot more coming from Pernambuco. Follow our channel, leave your like, subscribe, share with friends! Bye! See you next video!
