Arraial d’Ajuda: Getting There and Arround
arraial d-ajuda (February 21, 2009)You get to Arraial d’Ajuda from Porto Seguro via the ferryboat that operates 24 hours per day. It costs R$5 to get to Arraial and it’s free to get back to Porto Seguro. Once you get to the Arraial side, you can take a taxi to the village for R$20. If your hotel it on the northern coast, then you can probably walk to it. If you have a lot of luggage, the taxi driver will charge you the same R$20 to go one kilometer to your hotel (we don’t need no stinkin’ taxi meter). There are busses from the ferry that leave every 20 minutes to the village and others that go to Trancoso. Finally, you can wait for ten people (not difficult in peak season) and fill up a Kombi (VW bus) that will take the group into the village (or drop you off earlier) for R$3 each.
