Itacaré 4/2-4/4
The final leg of our trip was a visit to Itacaré, Bahia. Just a quick ferry ride west and a five hour bus ride South of Salvador lies the most beautiful town I have ever visited. Itacaré is not a very well-known tourist destination in Brasil and I can only hope it stays this way. The town is small with cute little shops and cobble-stone streets, and the entire east coast is lined with multiple beautiful white sand beaches.
We spent most of our time on the many small beaches of Itacaré, and there was never more then 15 people on any one beach at a time. The mood was tranquil, the sand was beautiful, the waves were crashing and the sun came out to play.
Praia Resende
When sitting on the beach you could turn around a see what can only be described as a jungle of palm trees behind you.

Praia Costa
Aka. Our own private beach (unofficially of course)

Rough life. I know.
This trip was such an adventure.
We managed to:
Visit 3 different cities
In 2 different states
Sit on 7 different beaches
Stay in 4 different hostels (if you include the airport)
And made countless memories that I can't wait to share with you guys when I get home.
I was so lucky to be able to take this trip with my friends and just to brag a little bit...
I was the only one who didn't lose something along the way :)
Mom and Dad trained me well.
Wow, this place looks amazing! Was it really "off-the-beaten-path"? Little restaurants and hostels? That looks like our kind of style there.
