Maceió, the capital of the state of Alagoas, is establishing itself as one of the trendiest destinations among Argentine travelers. In recent months, Smiles Argentina has detected a growing interest in this northeastern Brazilian city, chosen by those seeking different alternatives within Brazil, away from the historically most popular destinations.
With its year-round warm climate, crystal-clear beaches, distinct cultural identity, and outstanding culinary scene, Maceió is positioning itself as a versatile option that combines relaxation, nature, and urban life. Meanwhile, northeastern Brazil is gaining popularity among Argentine travelers, thanks to increased flight availability throughout the year, which expands travel planning possibilities across different seasons.
In this context, Smiles Argentina observes a growing trend toward exploring new regions of the neighboring country, where the combination of beaches, natural landscapes, culture, and connectivity caters to a more flexible and planned way of traveling. Maceió stands out within this scenario as a destination aligned with these new preferences.
Beyond its coastline, the city offers a diverse range of options to suit different travel styles. Among the main attractions are Pajuçara and its natural pools , a local icon, from where traditional boats depart for areas of calm, crystal-clear water; the historic district of Jaraguá , a cultural and creative hub with museums, heritage buildings, bars, and restaurants; and São Miguel dos Milagros , located a few kilometers from the capital, renowned for its virtually untouched beaches and its selection of boutique inns, increasingly popular with the Argentine market.
Alagoas' gastronomy is another of the destination's major distinguishing features, with a cuisine based on fresh fish and seafood, traditional northeastern recipes, and contemporary dishes that enrich the experience. In addition, there's the option of taking excursions to the San Francisco River Canyon , an alternative that offers breathtaking landscapes and opportunities to connect with nature, expanding the range of experiences beyond the beach.
With this combination of relaxation, culture, nature and local flavors, Maceió reinforces its position as a versatile and growing destination and consolidates the Brazilian Northeast as one of the regions with the greatest potential among Argentine travelers.
To support this trend, Smiles Argentina offers Viaje Fácil (Easy Travel ), a tool that allows you to book tickets up to 11 months in advance, lock in the ticket price—either with miles or a combination of miles and pesos—and complete the payment up to 60 days before the flight. At the time of booking, you only pay the taxes and fees along with the service charge, which is $15,500 for Club Smiles members and $18,000 for Smiles customers.
In addition, Club Smiles members enjoy exclusive benefits, such as preferential fares and greater flexibility when planning their trips. A Club 1000 membership includes a voucher with a 76% discount on mileage purchases, valued at $8,000 per month.
In this way, Smiles Argentina strengthens its offer to support those who want to plan further in advance, discover new destinations in Brazil and travel throughout the year with more options and flexibility.
As part of GOL Airlines' 25th anniversary , Smiles Argentina is launching special promotions between January 15th and 18th, which include opportunities to fly to classic destinations such as Rio de Janeiro and Florianópolis, as well as cities in the Brazilian Northeast, including Maceió.
