Exploring Bahia
Living up to its official motto,
Sorria, você está na
Bahia
(Smile, you're in Bahia), Bahia offers a diverse
range of sights. The extensive coastline varies from
fine Linha Verde resorts to sleepy villages with
stunning unspoilt beaches such as Trancoso. Salvador
and the historic towns of the Recôncavo provide
fascinating glimpses into Brazil's history. The Chapada
Diamantina is a highland region that resembles the
mesas of Arizona and New Mexico in Southwest USA.
Lençois, founded during the area's 19th-century gold
and diamond rush, boasts caverns, waterfalls, and
some of Brazil's best hiking.
