Steeped in tradition and bursting with natural beauty, this cliff-top location was the first part of Brazil discovered centuries ago, and remains a treasured retreat for locals and international visitors alike today.
Quiet places throughout the village invite reflection, relaxation and a healthy respect for the natural beauty that surrounds you, while a host of invigorating activities are available for those seeking a challenge. There are new sports to learn alongside expert instructors, and gourmet dishes to try straight from the kitchens of highly trained chefs.
Trancoso offers stunning views from atop the cliffs, a sprawling beach for guests to stroll below and a glimpse into the fiery culture of Brazil, all as part of a Total All-Inclusive Vacation. Then again, what else did you expect from Club Med?
