The experience in the village covers a large part of the culture and daily life of a Pataxó village, offering a perfect opportunity to reconnect with the ancestry of native Brazilian people and nature. The experience includes a traditional lunch – fish cooked in patioba leaves – and, after lunch, everyone remains silent to witness the Awê ritual, which includes prayers, songs, and dances. After the ritual, guests can bathe in the Caraíva River before returning to the village or heading to Ponta de Corumbau beach.
