Itacaré is a fishermen's village
in the hart of an ambiantal protection area. The region is known
as the cocoa coast due to its importants plantations. This tree
grows under the shadow of others biggers trees, so the native
rain forest ("mata atlântica") stays almost untouched
untill now.
The
village of Itacaré
Itacaré
is situated at the estuary of Contas River witch spring is in
Chapada Diamantina (near Lençois), at around 600 km from
the ocean. The natural beauty of this region
of Brazil offers to visitors many waterfalls,
beautifull beaches, tracks in the forest.
How
to arrive in Itacaré
The
arrival in Itacaré can be by plane via Ilhéus, where
there is a little airport.
From there, many busses go to Itacaré.
The
most economical transport in Brazil is the bus. All the country
has regular bus-line with comfortable busses.
The
easier is to arrive untill Itabuna or Ilhéus, and then
take a another bus to Itacaré. Consult
the time table from Ilhéus to Itacaré.
Coming
from the north, it's possible to avoid Ilhéus, and then
economize about 130 km. Stop in Ubaitaba and change to Itacaré
via Taboquinhas. The road crosses a very beautifull region, but
it's in very bad condition. It spends about 2 hours to make the
50 km, but you wont regret if you want to approach the heart of
Bahia and its countryside life.
There
are some busses linking directly Salvador to Itacaré (2
per week). It's a night trip during more and less 8 hours.
Another
option for who comes from Morro de São Paulo, Camamú
and Barra Grande, is to go south of Maraú peninsula untill
Itacaré, where you'll cross the Contas River by a little
ferry. This trip can be organized by the travel agencies witch
make the trips from Itacaré to Barra Grande (Lagoa do Cassange,
Taipus de Fora, Morro do Celular,...).
You're
welcome !

transportation from Ilhéus airport or bus station, we can
