Top 10 Specialty Museums in Santos, State of Sao Paulo (SP)

September 19, 2021 Agatha Simes

Although it's also the location of the Latin America's largest seaport, Santos isn't just a boring port town. The city of 420,000, just 75 kilometers from São Paulo, features a seven-kilometer stretch of beach divided into just as many social cliques as you'd find on Ipanema. A verdant promenade separates the beach from the seafront condos and hotels, along which families and friends walk, amble, bike, skate, rollerblade, throw frisbees, you name it. Less sandy points of interest include the Museu do Café Brasileiro (Brazilian Coffee Museum), the Aquário Municipal (City Aquarium), the Orquidário Municipal (City Orchid Garden) and the Neo-Gothic Santos Cathedral.

From the port in São Paulo, take a Taxi to the museu do Cafe. We made a deal with the taxi drive to take us return for 60 real. He waited at the museum for approximately an hour. The museum is well worth the visit and an absolute most to have a Brazilian coffee. It is one of the few places you can get a top quality coffee as their best beans are exported. Enjoy!!!
