A special spot, Itacare, Brazil is hidden in a corner of land between the Atlantic Ocean and the Rio de Contas.  For years it was kept isolated as it was very difficult to access only to be reached by 30 miles of dirty roads. In 1998 the state highway was finished and Itacare has become a refuge for nature lovers, surfers, and those in search of the true Bahia.  Visitors come from all over the world to take part in all you can see and feel here because this city is full of colors, sounds, smells, flavors and textures from of variety of tribes who coinhabit this area. Nature has been generous to Itacare with a diverse group of attractions for visitors of all interests.  Besides beautiful beaches with consistant breaks for all levels of surfers, there are beaches with no surf for swimmers, rivers for white water rafting, trails and waterfalls, forests for exploring, a festive nightlife and amazing sunsets. Surfers discovered this gem in the 70’s and they continue to be the most faithful tourists to the area because of the year round warm water and weather and constantly outstanding conditions to accommodate their daily surf needs with a variety of spots nearby to choose from.  Combined with the unique afro-brazilian culture and an ultra relaxed life style, Itacare is a beach bums dream!
