Porto Taigun, full property – Santo André, Bahia

Welcome to Sítio Porto Taigun, a spacious, quiet property in nature and with a unique history, on the banks of the João de Tiba River in Santo André, Bahia. Our property, one of the oldest in the village, is named after the sailboat that brought the couple Jürgen and Ana Lúcia to the then small village of Santo André in the early 1980s. This special place was carefully selected to become both the couple's new home and a port for the vessel. Hence the name: Porto Taigun. The space Cozy accommodations: We offer three accommodation options to suit your needs. SERENE BUNGALOWS We have two charming bungalows. The first is perfect for couples, while the second comfortably accommodates families or groups of friends.
