Salvador (45 minutes)
The birthplace of Brazil and the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture, Salvador is a beautiful and interesting city with a lot to do and see. Not to be missed: The Old City (Pelourinho) and Mercado Modelo
Arembepe (10 minutes)
This simple fishing village has beautiful beaches, good restaurants and shops, but is mostly known for it's hippie comunity that was formed in the sixties and has received famous visitors like Janis Joplin and Mick Jagger.
Sapiringa reserve(15 minutes)
600 hectares (1,482 acres) of Atlantic rain forest that contain rare orchids, bromeliads, endangered animals and a lake, Lago Timeantube, where more than 187 species of native birds have been sighted.
Rio Pojuca flows through the park, and nature trails, white water rafting and cable pulley adventures are available.
Praia do Forte (20 minutes)
This traditional fishing village was developed very tastefully and turned into a charming touristic resort. Besides restaurants, cafes and arts and crafts shops, Praia do Forte also houses the Projeto Tamar for the preservation of turtles.
Mangue Seco
An almost untouched place, Mangue Seco is a paradise of river, beaches, sand dunes and coconut trees.
The remote fishing village served as a hide away for the writer Jorge Amado during the dictatorship years in Brazil. Its idelic scenery inspired the author to write the famous novel "Tieta do Agreste", which later became a soap opera.

South of Salvador

Morro de São Paulo
Another island, next to Morro de São Paulo, but much more secluded, more 'untouched' and quieter.
It has a small village area with cafes and restaurants. Amongst the local attractions is a great artist who lives next to a very good pizzaria and makes fantastic masks using dry coconuts.
There are quick flights on light aircraft to Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba from Salvador airport, as well as the option of going by sea
