Jaqueira’s Indigenous Reserve

The 827 hectares of native forest and dwellings scattered throughout the reserve, still in the original shape, take us back to a distant past. Engaged in the sustainable development proposal, the indigenous people receive visitors in their typical costumes and paintings for dance presentations and rituals. Tourists may also buy crafts made in the tribe, go trekking and taste the typical cuisine, which includes dishes such as the grilled fish in patioba (kind of palm tree) leaf. It’s necessary to arrange visits with the Associação Pataxó de Ecoturismo (Pataxó Ecotourism Association) in advance.
