Espelho beach
by APaulo
Near Trancoso and Caraiva, in the south of Bahia, Praia do Espelho (Mirror Beach) is present on the select roll of the most beautiful beaches of the country. Together with Curuipe, it forms a small bay replete with coconut palm trees and natural swimming pools of transparent water.
Its exuberant nature joins varied elements, such as Mata Atlantica (Rain Forest) sand banks, mangrove, flooded grounds and cliffs in white and reddish shades.
Mother Teresa Ranch (Fazenda Mae Tereza)
by elisamen99
An excellent way to relax. Access to the ranch can be made by boat or by road - but you must be booked beforehand.
Horses, canoes, hammocks(!) and a waterslide are at your disposition during the entire day.
Shortly after you arrive they take you on a tour of the ranch in a trailer pulled by a tractor. You also go for a short walk in the woods where you see some very curious plants and trees. Also caught a glimpse of some monkeys. See various stages of coconut trees and abacaxi plants.

"The first Brazilian city"
Porto Seguro was he first city discovered by the portugueses.
You can find here historical places and a lot of fun, dance, and youth.
In the picture: people dancing capoeira
(A Brazilian form of combat adapted by African slaves to fight oppression. Capoeira is dance-like, and many believe it was developed this way to be disguised as a dance to the slave owners)
