Marechal Deodoro: Historical Tour from Maceió Marechal Deodoro: Historical Tour from Maceio

Discover the first capital of Alagoas: Baroque churches, colonial mansions, the city's famous cake shops and cocadas (coconut candies), and a visit to La Rue. Transportation and insurance included.
Just about 30 km from Maceió, on the shores of Lagoa Manguaba, lies Marechal Deodoro, the first capital of Alagoas and one of the most beautiful colonial cities in the Northeast. Its historic old town is listed by IPHAN and features streets with old cobblestones, colorful mansions and churches that have endured more than three centuries of history. The city is also the birthplace of Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca, the first president of Brazil, for whom the municipality is named.

Departing from Maceió's waterfront hotels, the tour takes you on an immersion into Alagoas' colonial past. Accompanied by a guide, you'll explore the historic old town and see the main churches and convents, including the Franciscan complex – one of the most important in the state – as well as mansions, squares and the houses that tell the story of how the city developed around sugar production and navigation on the lagoon.

The tour also has flavor. Marechal Deodoro is famous for its traditional cake and pastry makers, who keep alive recipes for cakes and cocadas (coconut candies) passed down from generation to generation. The stop to taste these sweets is one of the most memorable moments for travelers. To wrap things up, the itinerary includes a visit to La Rue, an art and gastronomy venue that celebrates local culture and is great for taking photos and discovering the work of regional artists.

It's the ideal tour for those who want to balance their beach days in Maceió with culture, history and good food, without having to drive. It works very well for couples, families, and groups of friends.

The experience lasts about 7 hours, with departures in the morning or afternoon, as arranged. Wear light clothing, closed shoes and sunscreen, and bring cash to sample and buy sweets and handicrafts, which are paid for separately.
