Reaching the town of Santos on 22 July, the torch was passed to the “king of football” himself at the Pelé Museum.
The three-time world champion appeared on the balcony, displaying his Medal of the Olympic Order from the International Olympic Committee.
"I want to thank you because not everyone has this opportunity,” Pelé said. “Let's go Brazil!"
Before reaching Santos, the relay passed through the town of Itu, where Rogério de Brito, former Olympic boxer who started out collecting paper from the streets, was among the torchbearers.
