Brazil · Bahia

Bahia: Afro-Brazilian culture, Atlantic coast and a vast interior.

Bahia is one of Brazil’s most complete travel states. Salvador anchors an exceptional cultural identity, while beaches, islands, Chapada Diamantina, the São Francisco interior and the far south create trips that can feel completely different from one another.

State overview

Bahia

Use Bahia as several coherent travel zones rather than one giant checklist. Salvador and the north coast combine easily; Morro de São Paulo and Itacaré add island and surf rhythms; Chapada Diamantina changes the trip to hiking and highland landscapes; inland Bahia introduces pilgrimage, caves, Caatinga and the São Francisco Valley.
