Allow yourself some some relaxing time along the finest aphrodisiac beaches of Bahia

This is your opportunity to feel the cosy ambiance of a calm beach and have so time for yourself and your partner, away from every beaten path of tourism.
Starting from Salvador we travel along the famous 'Coconut Coast' (also known as the Linha Verde) driving along some interesting fisherman's villages like Arembepe.
On our way we will also have a look at the well known Projeto Tamar, a project along the Brazilian Coast where the aim is to protect and preserve the turtle population.

Praia do Forte, a typical Bahian village up the North Coast of Salvador and home to the Projeto Tamar turtle protection program.

Praia do Forteis an ancient fisherman's village which has opened itself to tourism in an eco-friendly manner and still preserves its rustic characteristics. This village has only a few streets that follow the natural plan of the clearings between the coconut palms and is an interesting place to meet the locals and their day-to-day activities.

If you would like so we could also visit the most famous Castelo do Garcia d’Ávila, dating from 1552. It was the first great Portuguese edifice in Brazil. Today, it’s an impressive ruin with great views. Desperate to colonize as a way to control his new territory, the king of Portugal had set about granting lands to merchants, soldiers and aristocrats.
