Start your adventure by getting some vitamin sea at the serene São Miguel Beach or having a splash at Batuba beach. Now, doesn't that sound like a grand welcome to the city? But wait, there’s more to Ilhéus. Put on your explorer hat and saunter off to the historic center ‘Vesúvio Bar’, the very setting of the famous Brazilian novel, ‘Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon’.

Today, prepare to please your palate with a visit to the local cacao plantations. Ever wondered where your chocolate comes from? Now's your chance to see, firsthand! Witness cacao beans transform into scrumptious chocolate bars at the Fazenda Yrerê. What's travel without tasting the local cuisine? Head down to one of the city's restaurants to spoil yourself with tempting Bahian food - from Acarajé to Vatapá, your taste buds are in for a treat. To wrap up the day, pay a visit to the iconic Ilhéus Cathedral followed by a breezy stroll at the bustling Parque Estadual da Serra do Conduru. Doesn't this day sound simply delicious?

Day 3 - Winding down with Nature's Finest

Bidding farewell is tough, isn't it? Let's make your last day in Ilhéus count by soaking up nature’s best at Lagoa Encantada, a hidden gem of crystal clear waters and verdant forests. Fancy a boat ride amidst glowing water on a moonlit night? That's just at the Botrugy Bar! Later, explore the Atlantic Rainforest trails and marvel at the fauna that calls it their home.
