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 Falesias do Gunga. Change things up with these side-trips from Maceio: Passo de Camaragibe (Marceneiro Beach & Barra do Camaragibe Beach), Barra do Jequia Ou Duas Barras (in Jequia da Praia) and Coruripe (Pontal do Coruripe Beach & Lagoa Do Pau Beach). There's lots more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosario dos Pretos, stroll through Barra Nova Beach, explore the world behind art at Museu de Arte Sacra Pierre Chalita, and see the interesting displays at Museu Théo Brandão.
