Hello, Next week, we’re heading to the Bahia region for 10 days. Besides visiting Salvador, I’m torn between heading north to Praia do Forte or south to Itacaré. We’ll be traveling by bus. I’d love to do both, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy it if I try to do too much. If you’ve been to these places, I’d love to hear about your experiences. Thanks in advance.

Hi Audrey!

I know the Praia do Forte area well—it’s a beautiful place. It’s about 30 minutes from Salvador by car/bus. The area doesn’t have great healthcare facilities, but it’s nice, close to Salvador. There are good hotels and hostels. You can try typical foods as well as a variety of dishes. The climate is hot, so it’s best to avoid too much sun exposure. Nearby, there are some gorgeous beaches you can visit. The main issue is safety—be careful with people, your money, etc., at any time of day. Don’t worry! It’s going to be amazing! Willemon
