Amazing - No doubt the most beautiful place I've ever known. It's surreal the energy of this place. Beautiful, very cheap local craftsmanship, wonderful cocadas. It is a pity that the tour only lasts 1:20 very little close to the beauty of the place and the time to get there.To get there and meet the local artisans, take photos, eat a shrimp on the brasa on the banks of the river and take a bath in the river is a short time for such beauty.

Alagoas is mass! - I was delighted with Alagoas! The coast and shore of Maceió are the most beautiful of the northeast. The foz of the San Francisco River is beautiful and exciting. The people are welcoming. Congratulations to the entire WS team: competence, commitment and punctuality. In addition, the positive energy and good mood of the guides made the trip unforgettable. Special thanks to guide André: attentive, respectful and with great humor, leaving the group excited all the time! Visse?

Adventuring on the San Francisco River. - The walk is worth it! I was thrilled by walking and diving in the San Francisco River, meeting people who get their livelihoods from the river. The encounter of the San Francisco River with the sea is beautiful. The dunes that surround it are wonderful!

Tourist tour is not a place of political discourse. - The tour is simply amazing and this was not the first time I went. 24 years later I was able to see man's damage in nature. I met the river village that today no longer exists due to the invasion of the sea after the construction of the hydroelectric power plant. The boring was the speech of the Guide who accompanied us, for several times she says that the world is not the square of our apartments, as if we were a bunch of alienates from our gourmet balcony. She doesn’t know us, she doesn’t know our history (my example that I came back 24 years later). It is very important the design of guides and the appreciation of the place, culture and people but sub judge your visitors is a very thin line. It was quite uncomfortable to hear this phrase several times.

Unique experience! Worth seeing! - The schooner trip to Foz do Sao Francisco with a stop at the Maceió Dunes was simply fantastic. An important river for national integration, originating in Minas Gerais and flowing into the Atlantic, it offers us enchanting landscapes, with Sergipe on one bank and Alagoas on the other. The golden dunes of Alagoas, very close to Foz, are of indescribable beauty, where you can comfortably accommodate in stalls offering local delicacies and crafts. Savoring freshly caught shrimp, roasted over coals, with a sweet flavor, very different from the frozen ones normally served, was also a unique experience. Note thousand. I recommend.
