Tatuamunha: the little jewel of Alagoas you need to discover

Little known outside Brazil, Tatuamunha surprises with the contrast between simple life and the power of the landscape.

Tatuamunha is one of those destinations that surprise with the contrast between simple life and the power of the landscape. Hidden between the river and the sea, on the northern coast of Alagoas, this fishing village brings together unspoiled nature, vernacular architecture, crystal-clear sea and an atmosphere where history, culture and silence blend.

Inside the Coral Coast

The region is part of the Costa dos Corais, the largest marine protected area in Brazil. It is a deep Brazil, of villages with colourful houses, cobbled streets, original crafts and food prepared without hurry. Everything breathes authenticity, even the sea: warm and clear, ringed by coconut palms and reefs.

Manatees and unspoiled beaches

Tatuamunha is home to the Manatee Sanctuary, a symbol of local biodiversity and conservation efforts. The village belongs to the municipality of Porto de Pedras, which also has the beaches of Patacho and Laje, still unspoiled, with a raw, unfiltered beauty.
