Visit
Alcântara, on the other side of the bay of São Marcos
in São Luis, a trip in the past. There is a small
"ghost town" with 10 streets and 8 cross
streets, three squares, and about 300 buildings. You
will understand how it was during the colonial time
in Brazil – Two floor houses, churches and sugar production
are the main attractions.
Our
tour starts 09:30 in Sao Luis and takes the whole
day. To the island of Alcantra we go first by boat
(50min) and then the round tour starts. We visit the
Church of Nossa Senhora do Carmo, Chapel of Merces,
Ladeira do Jacaré, Pelourinho (where slaves
where hit and judged), the ruins of Church da Matriz,
Cavalo de Tróia, Passo da Quaresma, Chapel
Nossa Senhora do Desterro and the ruin of Barão
Palace.
