Head through the historic city center of Santos and past its famous beach.
Your destination is the Pele Museum. The facility opened in 2014 during the World Cup in Brazil, marking a watershed moment for Santos, where Brazil's 'King of Soccer' played for the Santos Football Club for most of his career. The new museum is a huge drawcard and the country's top attraction for soccer fans. Its exhibits include 2,400 objects from the soccer star's personal collection, including items of sentimental value, such as the shoe-shine box he used as a working child, as well as the legendary number 10 jersey, cleats, soccer balls, trophies and other memorabilia. Among the interactive exhibits are a hologram of Pele and displays to help you learn how to dribble or replicate his thousandth goal.
Notes:
Tour includes two-plus hours of moderate walking and additional walking at guests' discretion during the free time. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, and steps. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Tour does not operate on Mondays. Tour may be conducted by a Portuguese-speaking guide and an English-language interpreter. Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here; you are trading breadth of guide experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties or operational surprises that may crop up.
