Itacaré Travel Guide

 kelly_york Says:  A little off the tourist path, the bookshop in Itacaré was a gem of a find and well worth a visit. It's a cute space where you can drink coffee and read, right in front of where all the boats come in. It's on the strip in the old centre of town. The best part for me was that... 

 mircaskirca Says:  It's one of the paradisiacal beaches of Itacare. The most easy way to get there is by car. There are also buses from Itacare which stop on the main road and there is only a short walk down to the beach.more pics in the Travelogue

 Subria Says:  Itacare is a cool place to hang around, in the center there are many shops and restaurants. Most of the tourists are surfers and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Bring enough money for your stay in Itacare, it may not be very easy to find a bank and the ATM did not accept our... 

 Subria Says:  The village Itacare is surrounded by beautiful beaches. The nearest to the town is Concha Beach, there is also a lighthouse and some restaurants, the sea there is very calm. If you walk a bit more south along the street you will find nicer beaches with a lot of palm trees.... 

 mircaskirca Says:  Every night the Baiana comes to the main little square - you can't miss it as it's the only square in Itacare. You find her there sitting under the tree. She brings everything with her to prepare delicious acaraje. Sometimes there is a little row but it's worth waiting a... 

 schnaider Says:  Its a creperia, something like pancakes i guess. Delicius! I met a friend from my hometown working there, so far away from home, Tio Gu is his uncle, he dropped out his life in Curitiba and went to work there with the family! :) Once in Itacare u should visit them, they have...

 mircaskirca Says:  It was my favourite bar since the first visit which actually happened already in the first night. Bar itself is quite simple but it's got a very enjoyable atmosphere. They serve various drinks. Music is good and often played by DJs. It is open from 7pm and it is a good place...
