Visas & entry
A traveler's guide to Maceió's famous natural pools stresses that the whole experience is entirely tide-dependent: the coral-reef pools off Pajuçara Beach only form properly at low tide, so any jangada raft tour needs to be booked around the tide schedule for that specific day rather than a fixed time slot. Their other tip was not to underestimate the sun even on an overcast day, since UV levels stay high year-round in Maceió regardless of cloud cover, making reef-safe sunscreen worth applying before heading out on the water.
