Vacation photoshoot · Maceió
In short
Vacation photoshoot in Maceió starts at $130: 30 min on location with a photographer who works in Maceió, and 20 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 7 days.
Why choose vacation photoshoot in Maceió?
Many visitors to Alagoas spend part of the holiday away from the city, in the pousadas of São Miguel dos Milagres and Porto de Pedras on the Rota Ecológica. The pace there is slower and the photographs follow it: a jangada to a small reef pool in the morning, a manatee river in the afternoon, and beaches with almost nobody on them. A vacation session on that stretch is planned around the two things ICMBio regulates there.
Worth knowing about Maceió
ICMBio’s public-use plan for the APA Costa dos Corais lists the pools of São Miguel dos Milagres for jangada trips, free diving and bathing, and states that manatee visits on the Rio Tatuamunha follow specific rules and run only with authorised community providers. A vacation session there rides on those trips, with the photographer aboard, rather than on a private boat.

FAQ — Vacation photoshoot in Maceió
Can the vacation photographer come on the Tatuamunha manatee trip near Maceió?
Yes, as a passenger on an authorised trip. ICMBio states that manatee visits on the Rio Tatuamunha, in Porto de Pedras on the Maceió coast, run only with authorised community providers under rules specific to the animal. The photographer books a place on the same jangada and keeps to the guide’s distance.
How are the São Miguel dos Milagres pools reached for vacation photos?
By jangada, on a low tide. ICMBio’s plan for the APA Costa dos Corais lists the São Miguel dos Milagres pools, north of Maceió, for jangada trips, free diving and bathing. The vacation session starts on the beach in front of the pousada and continues in the pool once the tide is out.
