Travel by dug-out canoe up the Rio de Contas river through mangroves, cocoa plantations and crab colonies (Guiamuns and Aratus crabs) to one of the most lovely waterfalls in Itacaré!

This tour is on offer from July to October. The Humpback whales migrate from the icy waters of the Antarctic to the warm, tropical waters of the north, where they stay all through the winter to feed and reproduce in warmer waters.

Opened to the public in 2002, the Angel's Refuge Reserve is still evolving and growing as a sustainable and balanced mix of preservation, environmental education and leisure activities. Ecotourism at its best!

Ecological trails through lush, Atlantic rain-forest, magnificent coastal views, visits to four wild and idyllic beaches with the option of a refreshing dip in a gorgeous waterfall at the end of the day– Could it get any better?
