You could spend the rest of your lifetime unlocking the countless secrets of Bahia. There is something about this state; the history, the ancient culture, the savage landscapes, the people’s singing when speaking and their bodies dancing like gods and goddesses from a mysterious land. Salvador is a chest full of treasures, a bubbling melting pot of cultural influences and criss-crossing heritage. Brimming with unimaginable beauty, underground pools and cutting canyons of ancient trees and cliff edges, you’ll find the Chapada Diamantina National Park, just a few hours’ drive from Salvador.
Bahia
All in one. Do you have the time? You’ve got to start somewhere…
As if hidden from the eyes of the world since the dawn of time, you’ll find Ilha de Boipeba, a utopia of palm tree-lined bays, thatched roof beach shacks and a pace of life so serene that you cannot help but unwind here. Then, there’s the Cocoa Coast of Bahia, which holds the key to the secrets of the world’s favorite sweet treat, with a fascinating cultural heritage and sublime Atlantic coastline.
And so much more, it wouldn’t fit here. It doesn’t fit in your mind. You need to hike it, ride it, swim it, bike it, encountering wild animals, historic towns, exotic plants, and merging with the Baianos as much as you can, as they are so warm and open to show you and share with you another world. Bahia is our own favorite, the one Brazilian state that has it all.
