Brazil holidays: Marau - BA
Peninsula of Maraú (BA) -Brazil Hidden places to visit Bahia
A place where he is
unnecessary to dispute a space in the sand to
stay the parasol, the cellular is not necessary,
the hot bath does not exist, the electric light
is unnecessary and the bank agencies are luxury
items. In this bahian primitive paradise called
peninsula of Maraú, the traveller rests and
adventure in tours to the style of the time of
Cristobal Colon.
The outsider also test cool crabs and octopuses,
sees the culture of seringueiras, dendê,
cravo-da-indian, pupunha, cacao and cassava and
folloies the places in the act of artesanato as
coconut and piaçava. Also he impresses yourself
with the artisan technique of construction of
enormous boats and with some house done of
shells.
This is only one shows brought up to date of
day-by-day of the first inhabitants of the bay of
Camamu, the brazilian indians, who had baptized
the region of Mayrahu. The nature that the
natives still enjoyed remains unbroken -- for the
delight of the tourists.
Located in the coast of the Dendê, with,
clearly, many dendezeiros, beyond coconut palms
and cacaueiros, the peninsula is in one of the
extremities of the bay of Camamu -- that it
separates this land arm of the continent.
What it does not lack to the tourist in the
peninsula are places to tame, from beaches of
Three Coqueiros and Taipu de Fora: it has about
40 km desert beach and arrecifes of chorales,
which form natural swimming pools, islands and
waterfalls.
The tour organizers are interested in showing the
daily life of about 3.000 inhabitants of the
region, with visits the devices of cassava and
dendê, walking tours in the tracks of Atlantic
bush, divings in waterfalls, discover desert
beaches and a tour for the manguezal.
Difficult access
In Maraú, everything is very rustic, and to
arrive there with a tourism operator facilitates
the life, because it does not have regular
services of transport. But she is necessary to
call before embarking and combining the transfer:
you it will not find guichês of the agencies in
the airports.
From Salvador Bahia (BA-Brazil), there are flights, with duration
of 50 minutes, destination to the peninsula
(using the track of landing of the Kiaroa Resort,
in the beach of Bombaça), Wed, Fri and Sundays.
For land, it has two options: until Camamu and,
of motor boat, for Great Bar, district of the
city of Maraú; or until Itacaré and, of there,
passing for the south part of the peninsula,
until the beach of Taipu de Fora. In the first
case, to arrive at the hotels (that they are
spread, beyond Great Bar, for beaches of Tip of
the Mutá, Taipu de Fora, Cassange and
Saquaíra), crossing land roads, she is necessary
to rent to an car 4x4. Therefore it is better to
travel folloied, since, if it will not have
formed groups, she will be necessary to pay --
expensive -- for a privative transfer.
For the solitary traveller, the alternative is to
use the service of the inn Lagoon of the
Cassange, that carries guests and not-guests to
beaches from the Cassange and Taipu de Fora and
charges from R$ 236.
