    Historic Center, Seaside & Culture

WHAT TO EXPECT?

Just about an hour away from São Paulo, Santos feels like a different world — a seaside city with a slower rhythm, charming colonial streets, and a welcoming coastal vibe. On this Photo Tour, we’ll explore the Historic Center of Santos, capture its hidden gems, and discover how Brazil’s most important port city blends history, architecture, and seaside life.

We’ll walk through cobblestone streets, photograph colonial buildings, visit the Coffee Museum, and enjoy the city’s unique mix of tradition and modernity. Along the way, you’ll taste the famous “bolinho de bacalhau”, ride the historic tram or funicular up Monte Serrat for breathtaking views, and end the day at the Ponta da Praia, where the ocean meets the port.

This experience is perfect for travelers who love photography, history, and authentic cultural encounters. Beginners and experienced photographers alike will find inspiration in Santos’ architecture, seaside atmosphere, and everyday life.
