Brazil holidays: Where to go
Porto Seguro - Bahia (BA)- Brazil

The traveller will have the sensation to have a beautiful day of indian in Caraíva. The passage of the river made in a canoe, one visits to the village pataxó and the fact not to have electricity for there -- It doesn't mean that light does not exist: some inns and restaurants use solar energy -- they give an idea of as the place approaches the tourist of the virgin nature and as it can have a well different moment of the one that is accustomed.

The scene also remembers a film: the streets are of sand, surrounded for simple, but well well-taken care of constructions.

The way most easy to arrive at the place is making a passage of canoe (it charges a round trip ticket of R$ 3) for the river Caraíva -- that it has red colored waters due to great amount of iron.

The automobiles are not common in Caraíva, except bugues lead by the indians, who use to offer them a way of transport to the tourists.


The Atlantic bush is for all the sides. The birds seen during the passage are not few. It is common good, also, to sight a bird of called robbery "gavião hunting-monkey", that, as the proper name says, is predonor of small primates who inhabit to the forest. The falésias, gifts for all the Coast of the Discovery, also are part of the scene created for the nature.

One of the roads passes for a great land of buffalos, that occupies a plain that goes beyond the reach of the vision. To far, it is possible to delimit the mount Pascoal, the first land indication sighted by the fleet of Cabral.

Relatively low (it has 536 meters of height), it is exactly distinguished for the region to be a great plain.

The beaches are propitious for the diving. Visit Satu Beach, nominated thus had a native whom he still is there (an excellent histories teller) and Mirror Beach - Espelho beach -, a natural reef port.
