How to get there
By plane
- Airport: Porto Seguro (BPS)
- Direct flights from major Brazilian capitals via Latam, Gol, and Azul
- We recommend booking at least 60 days in advance
From the airport to Pitinga Beach
- Ferry crossing over the Buranhém river — about 30 to 60 minutes
- Options: rental car, Uber/taxi + ferry as pedestrian, or pre-booked transfer
- Pitinga is ~10 minutes from downtown Arraial
Good to know
- Ferry runs 24 hours — every 30 min from 6 am to midnight, and every 1 hour from midnight to 6 am
- On high season, lines can reach 1 hour — leave with extra time
- You can take an Uber to the ferry and another after the crossing, or go with a taxi booked in advance, which does the route directly and is usually the most hassle-free option.
