Porto Seguro holds a distinctive place in Brazil’s history as the first landing point of Portuguese navigators in 1500, including Pedro Álvares Cabral. In the far south of Bahia, the city covers 2,287 square kilometres and has an estimated population of 168,326. Its surrounding area, shared with Santa Cruz Cabrália and Eunápolis, remains closely tied to that historic arrival.
