The Barra do Caí in the municipality of Prado, Bahia, is widely considered by historians and the Brazilian government to be the site of the first European landing in Brazil on April 22, 1500.3:17 While the expedition led by Pedro Álvares Cabral initially sighted Monte Pascoal, the fleet anchored near the mouth of the Rio Caí in approximately 18 meters of water, as recorded in historical navigation logs.7:05 The site remains largely undeveloped and lacks a formal harbor, which explains why the original fleet eventually moved north to the more sheltered waters of Porto Seguro.5:34 Historical analysis of the landing relies on the letter of Pêro Vaz de Caminha, the letter of Mestre João Faras, and the account of an anonymous pilot, all of which reference a latitude of 17 degrees south.17:01 The late Admiral and historian Max Justo Guedes provided the most authoritative case for this location, combining archival research with practical maritime expertise.15:00 Modern visitors can access the beach via unpaved roads, where the coastal cliffs remain consistent with 16th-century descriptions, though the coconut palms seen today were introduced after the initial contact.2:15
