Sail the Velho Chico (the São Francisco river) down to where it meets the sea, with dunes, scenery and lunch included.
Foz do Rio São Francisco is one of the most traditional tours on the south coast of Alagoas, taking you to where the São Francisco river meets the Atlantic Ocean. The destination brings together unique scenery, dunes, history and a rich regional culture, making it an excellent choice for couples, families and groups of friends.
Pick-up is between 7am and 7:30am, directly from your accommodation in Maceió. After arriving in Piaçabuçu, you head to the boarding point, where the boat trip along the São Francisco river towards its mouth begins.
During the trip there's a stop at the shifting dunes (Dunas Móveis), with free time to walk, take in the scenery and learn a little of the region's history from the local guide. You can also try sweets and other local delicacies made by the community.
After the dunes, the boat returns to our partner restaurant in Piaçabuçu, where a buffet lunch is served, already included in the tour. Drinks and desserts are optional and paid for directly at the restaurant.
The return to Maceió is at around 2:30pm, arriving in the late afternoon, rounding off one of the most complete and contemplative itineraries on the Alagoas coast.
