GETTING AROUND
Bahia is large, and the roads are mostly precarious.
However, the Linha Verde (BA-099), which runs north
along the coast from Salvador to the border with
Sergipe, provides easy, quick access to the beach
towns. Traveling south from Salvador, the BR-101
runs parallel to the coast, about 37 miles (60 km)
inland. Access to beach towns on the southern coast
is via secondary roads. The best way to get around
is to fly to one of the major destinations, such as
Salvador, Ilhéus, or Porto Seguro, and proceed by bus
to explore the surrounding regions. The main
destination inland, the Chapada Diamantina, is a drive
from Salvador on the BR-324, BR-126, and BR-242
highways. Lençóis in the Chapada Diamantina can be
reached by road and plane.
