Our Tourism
Povoado Bar da Hora adopted a community-based and sustainable tourism model, focused on valuing local culture and environmental preservation. This model ensures that economic benefits are distributed among residents, promoting active community participation in all stages of tourism. With this approach, Bar da Hora not only preserves its traditions, but also promotes fair and sustainable economic development, strengthening community ties and creating tourism where the community plays a leading role.
How to get here
The town of Bar da Hora is located in the Barreirinhas beach region. To get to the town, visitors need to take a boat from Avenida Beira-Rio in Barreirinhas. This route can be done with private or shared boats. The trip along the Rio Preguiças is a charming experience, taking around 1 and a half hours, passing through stunning landscapes. We are one stop before Atins.
Sustainability Initiatives
In Povoado Bar da Hora, we promote Community-Based Tourism, integrating sustainability and caiçara culture. Our initiatives include mangrove reforestation, essential for protecting coastal ecosystems, and the use of biodigesters that transform organic waste into biogas and fertilizer. Additionally, solid waste composting supplies our community gardens. These actions not only reduce environmental impacts and preserve biodiversity but also strengthen the local economy and offer visitors an authentic and responsible experience.
