Why go
Maceió has urban beaches with warm, clear water, such as Pajuçara and Ponta Verde, and is the base for trips along the coast of Alagoas. To the north lies Maragogi, famous for its natural pools.
When to go
September to March is the driest, sunniest period. The natural pools depend on low tide, so check the tide table before booking the tour.
How long to stay
5 to 7 days let you combine Maceió with a day or two in Maragogi.
Getting there
Zumbi dos Palmares Airport (MCZ) receives direct flights from Brazil's main cities. Maragogi is about 130 km from Maceió by road.
