10 days in Maceio Itinerary

Dazzling waters, long stretches of white sand beach, and the splendid colors of nearby mineral cliffs typify Maceio, the laid-back capital of Alagoas state.

Shop till you drop at Handicraft Center of Pontal da Barra and Galeria Gamma. Escape the urban bustle at Porto da Rua Beach and Marceneiro Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Maceio: Coruripe (Pontal do Coruripe Beach & Lagoa Do Pau Beach), Barra do Camaragibe Beach (in Passo de Camaragibe) and Falesias do Gunga (in Roteiro). There's lots more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Pretos, stroll through Bitingui Beach, explore the world behind art at Museu de Arte Sacra Pierre Chalita, and see the interesting displays at Museu Théo Brandão.
