Trancoso - Jet-Set Luxury with Hippy Simplicity
Trancoso, founded in 1586, is a village located in the southern part of the state of Bahia that began its history as a tiny Jesuit outpost called Saint John the Baptist of the Indians. It was “re-discovered” in the 70’s by a group of pleasure seeking hippies. Trancoso now attracts people from the far flung corners of the earth. Artists, Craftspeople, Architects, Chefs and Designers have found the inspiration needed to develop and create, in partnership with locals, a unique style recognized throughout Brazil and around the world… “Hippy-Chic”.
