Bahia Beach Break
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Salvador de Bahia – Praia das Ondas
Today a transfer will take you on the 1 hour drive to Itacimirim from Salvador de Bahia. During this beach break you’ll stay at a comfortable pousada close to the beach. Once you’ve checked in, you can relax by the pool, have a drink at the bar or chill-out with a good book on the sand which is a short stroll through the garden. Each bungalow has air conditioning and a terrace with a hammock.
Days 2-3 – Free time
Your time here is free to spend as you wish. Relax by the pool with a good book or stroll along the beach. If you’re in the mood for something a little more active, you can hire a bike and go sightseeing in the area. If you would like to explore further, Praia do Forte is just 10 minutes away by taxi. This tourist town has a pedestrian centre lined with trees, souvenir shops and a variety of cafes, bars and restaurants with a pretty seafront to amble along.
The only activity we will arrange during your stay is a cocktail making class where you will learn to make your own caipirinha. The bartender of your hotel will explain to you the proportions with which you make the best caipirinha. In addition to the well-known cocktail with lime, you will also learn about other fruit combinations such as passion fruit or pineapple and you will create your favourite flavour combination. Of course, this has to be tasted. You will receive the recipe so that you can enjoy it at home.
TAMAR Project: Turtles in Brazil
Sea turtles lay their eggs on the beach of Praia do Forte and between the months of January and March the baby turtles hatch. In Praia do Forte, at the end of the boulevard, there is a small church right by the sea and behind it is the TAMAR turtle project. The project monitors the development of the turtles in Brazil and takes care of injured or lost animals.
Day 4 – Departure
Unfortunately your time in Bahia must come to an end today. Depending on your flight time from Salvador you will be collected from the pousada and transferred to the airport for your onward flight.
