  Natural pools: Baia dos Porcos
by perfectly_zen
 
 

Baía dos Porcos is an amazing place...The name means "'Pig´s Bay", and it comes from its similarity with a cuban bay that has the same name, according to the american army that visited the area.
The bay is small, secluded, between two hills, with a close view of the Morro Dois Irmãos. Among the rocks you will find many natural pools, where you can see lots of fish...the kind of aquarium you´d like to have at home! hehe
You can do some snorkelling around the rocks, but the entrance to this small pools are completely prohibited, besides being dangerous.
But the best view from Baia dos Porcos is from above the hill, between Sancho´s bay (take at look at the intro´s picture....that´s the one!!!).

Directions: Take the trail from Cacimba do Padre to the bay....

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
