Here you'll discover not only one of the country's most intriguing cities, but also some of the most beautiful wilderness scenery in the interior, and an example of the glorious beaches for which the state is justly famous. Fly to Salvador, a tropical melting pot of Afro-Brazilian culture and one of Brazil's finest colonial cities. You’ll have a walking tour of the atmospheric historic core. This multi-coloured Portuguese colonial heart of Brazil’s most exotic city throbs with drum and dance - this is the home of capoeira. Next, you’ll drive inland to the forested Chapada Diamantina, a national park studded with table-top mountains and run through with crystalline rivers: at its heart is the laid-back little town of Lençois. It is magnificent walking country and you’ll be able to explore its caves, waterfalls and rocky hills. Bahia's coconut coast is lined with golden beaches backed by lofty palms. Just an hour north of Salvador is Praia do Forte, a low-key and low-rise resort which is also a protected haven for sea turtles. Beyond its car-free main strip, lined with small bars, shops and restaurants, are miles of beaches and natural pools which offer a warm bath at low tide. You have two full days of leisure here: swing in a hammock, fruity cocktail in hand, or dip your toes in the ocean. Transfer to your guesthouse close to the Pelourinho in the historic colonial centre. The city of Salvador is the most exotic in the country, where the influence of Portuguese colonial architecture and culture blends with the African traditions imported by the slaves brought in to work on the plantations. The compact historic core has recently been renovated and is crammed full of colourful colonial mansions, churches and museums, all clustered around a large open space known as the pelourinho, which is the heart of the city. You’ll have a private guided walking tour of this quarter, best discovered on foot. The area is enlivened with bars, shops and restaurants, and you can expect spontaneous eruptions of music at every turn. The local cuisine is very much a product of the region and its cultural mélange: you can try out any number of dishes at the many eateries in town. 11:31 18-08-2021 After yesterday's orientation walk, today is free to explore and absorb the magnetic vibe of Salvador. Optional trips we can arrange with advance notice include a Bahian cooking- themed tour or a visit to the Lower City (Cidade Baixa) and the Itapagipe Peninsula, visiting the Igreja de Bomfim. This church is a magnet for pilgrims. If you fancy a trip further afield, Cachoeira is a colonial town and national historic monument that in its heyday was a thriving river port, but is now a sleepy and unpretentious place full of atmospheric, crumbling colonial buildings and a photogenic delight. Transfer to the bus station for a modern public coach journey (6-7hrs) to Lençois in the Chapada Diamantina, 420km from Salvador. The pretty, colonial town of Lençois is set in the heart of the Chapada Diamantina. It is a well- watered land of densely vegetated beauty set close to the dusty Sertão desert. The national park's most distinctive features are the table-like mountains which define its topography. It has a hot climate all year around, which makes visiting its natural pools, rivers and delightful waterfalls an even more welcoming attraction. Lençois was the centre of a diamond rush in the 19th century but since the 1980s the accent has been on ecotourism. Your hotel is convenient for visits to the many gift shops, family-style restaurants and bars in this friendly low-key little town, until recently the preserve of hippies and New Age aficionados. After breakfast there's a full day tour of the Chapada Diamantina. Drive from Lencois to the Mucugezinho river, and trek to the black lake of Poço do Diabo. From here there's a chance to visit Lapa Doce cave, which involves about an hour's walking underground. You’ll also visit Pratinha Cave, a beautiful subterranean river and lake. Later, drive to Pai Inacio plateau and walk the last 300m (20mins) for today's grand finale: perhaps the most amazing view in Bahia. 11:31 18-08-2021 Begin with 2-hour transfer from Lençois to the remote community of Capão which sits withing the heart of the stunning tablelands of the Chapada Diamantina. From here, there's a 12 km walk (2 hours each way) to the top of the steaming Cachoeira da Fumaça (waterfall of smoke). At 340m this is the second highest waterfall in Brazil and the only way it can be viewed in its entirety is to lie horizontal and peer down into the canyon! A picnic lunch is included at the top of the waterfall, before the hike down - which offers more magnificent views over the Capão valley. Return to Capão for a visit to the village and, on the drive back to Lençois, maybe stop at Riachinho for a swim. This hike is classed as moderate. Take the coach back to Salvador and transfer to Praia do Forte. Thanks to its carefully managed conservation projects, Praia do Forte has developed over the decades into an established family-orientated resort without losing its Bahian character. Salvador’s most convenient beach escape, it’s lively at weekends and holidays but miles of palm-lined sands mean there’s room for everyone. Our clients have been enjoying holidays here for over 30 years. Days in Praia do Forte can be as relaxed as you wish, although there's plenty to fill your time whether its beach- combing before breakfast, a visit the Projeto Tamar turtle sanctuary, ecological reserve or nearby fortress. Nights are generally low-key here, busier on weekends and holidays but the main strip has plenty of eating options and there's a family-orientated atmosphere. Optional whale-watching activities take place at Praia do Forte between August and October. 11:31 18-08-2021 Services of our team of Walking Tour of Historic Tips and gratuities experts in our London office Salvador Meals other than specified Services of Journey Latin Full day tour of Chapada America local Diamantina National Park, International flights to Latin representatives and guides near Lençois America All land and air transport Full day walking-based Airport taxes, when not within Latin America excursion to the Valley and included in the ticket Fumaca waterfalls Accommodation as specified Optional excursions Meals as specified Excursions as specified, including entrance fees 2 scenic road journeys between Salvador and the Chapada Diamantina (6-7hrs each); transfer between Salvador and Praia do Forte is about an hour. We have chosen for this tour small and friendly pousadas (guesthouse style properties) in Salvador and Praia do Forte. These are widespread and popular in Brazil. In Lençois you have a comfortable mid-range hotel long- established in the town. All have well-equipped rooms, private bathroom and heating. Breakfast daily, lunch days 5, 6. We carefully select our local partners, some of whom we have worked with for over 25 years. Their English- speaking guides understand the expectations of our clients very well, and are consistently singled out for praise by the latter on their return. 10 days, 9 nights: Salvador 3; Lençois 3; Praia do Forte 3. The unit of currency in Brazil is the real. 11:31 18-08-2021 Cash machines are available in all major cities and towns, and so taking a debit or credit card with a PIN number is the most convenient way of withdrawing money while on your trip, and in most shops and restaurants you can also pay by card. However, since cards can get lost, damaged, withheld or blocked, you should not rely exclusively on a card to access funds. We recommend that additionally you take a reasonable quantity of US dollars cash (no more than is covered by your insurance), which you can exchange into local currency. Dollar bills should be in good condition, soiled or torn bills may be refused. You can take sterling, but the exchange rate is not always competitive or even available, restricting the number of places where you can change money.

  • Fomites and the Environment Did Not Have an Important Role in COVID-19 Transmission in a Brazilian Mid-Sized City
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fomites and the environment did not have an important role in COVID‑19 transmission in a Brazilian mid‑sized city Ana Luíza Silva Rocha1,5, Josilene Ramos Pinheiro1,2,5, Thamilin Costa Nakamura3, José Domingos Santos da Silva3, Beatriz Gonçalves Silva Rocha4, Raphael Contelli Klein1, Alexander Birbrair4* & Jaime Henrique Amorim1,2* It is not clear if COVID‑19 can be indirectly transmitted. It is not possible to conclude the role of the environment in transmission of SARS‑CoV‑2 without studying areas in which people transit in great numbers. In this work we aimed to better understand the role of environment in the spread of COVID‑19. We investigated the presence of SARS‑CoV‑2 in fomites as well as in the air and in the sewage using RT‑qPCR. We studied both, a reference market area and a COVID‑19 reference hospital at Barreiras city, Brazil. We collected and analyzed a total of 418 samples from mask fronts, cell phones, paper money, card machines, sewage, air and bedding during the ascendant phase of the epidemiological curve of COVID‑19 in Barreiras. As a result, we detected the human RNAse P gene in most of samples, which indicates the presence of human cells or their fragments in specimens. However, we did not detect any trace of SARS‑CoV‑2 in all samples analyzed. We conclude that, so far, the environment and inanimate materials did not have an important role in COVID‑19 transmission in Barreiras city. Therefore, similar results can probably be found in other cities, mainly those with COVID‑19 epidemiological scenarios similar to that of Barreiras city.

  • Avaliação Histórica Da Expansão Agrícola Sobre O Cerrado No Município De Luís Eduardo Magalhães, Bahia. Pablo Santana Sa
    Avaliação histórica da expansão agrícola sobre o Cerrado no município de Luís Eduardo Magalhães, Bahia. Pablo Santana Santos1 José Carlos Neves Epiphanio2 1Universidade Federal da Bahia – UFBA/ICADS Rua Prof. José Seabra s/n - 47805-100 – Barreiras – BA, Brasil [email protected] 2Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE Caixa Postal 515 - 12245-970 - São José dos Campos - SP, Brasil [email protected] Abstract. The agriculture is very important for Brazilian economy, and its growth was very fast during the last decades. However, the fast growth of the agricultural sector has caused some negative impacts on the natural vegetation cover. This work aims to discuss the historical agricultural expansion of Luís Eduardo Magalhães (LEM) municipality located at the west part of Bahia State, Brazil, over the last 22 years (1984 to 2006). Also, it is analyzed the possible direct impacts caused by agricultural expansion over local vegetal coverage: the savanna. The values obtained for the agricultural area used pointed towards a fast growth of this sector in the county. The combination of these two factors (soils and relief) yielded a good environment for the establishment of agricultural activities in a commercial scale. The “agricultural polygons” generated presented different sizes and forms. Initially, agricultural area was 4.22%, growing up to the current figures of more than the half of the municipal area (54.46%). The direct impact caused by the fast agricultural expansion was the suppression of local vegetation coverage (Savanna). Such suppression was about 201,702.7ha, including the Permanent Preservation areas. The only Environmental Conservation Unit (APA) located in LEM revealed a great efficiency in the maintenance of the native vegetation.

Ana Acácia Ribeiro Silva. Mestranda em Geografia - UFMG [email protected] RESUMO Cachoeira e São Félix são pequenas cidades do Recôncavo Baiano que possuíram o processo de formação territorial ligado ao desenvolvimento do Brasil colônia, pois foram uns dos primeiros adensamentos urbanos a se estabelecerem no estado. Grande parte dos estudos desenvolvidos sobre a formação territorial da Bahia e consequentemente da cidade de Cachoeira levam em consideração, sobretudo os aspectos sociais e econômicos como condicionantes desse processo. Contudo o espaço geográfico é composto tanto de elementos naturais quanto humanos, neste sentido este artigo desenvolve um estudo à cerca da formação territorial de Cachoeira e São Félix, considerando tanto elementos físicos como os sociais, condicionantes desse processo. Para atingir os objetivos dessa pesquisa, foi necessário desenvolver um trabalho de teor geo-histórico, influenciando o resgate de documentos antigos, análises de mapas, croquis, e tantos outros elementos que fizessem compreender o espaço de outrora e só assim relacioná-los com os elementos naturais presentes no local. Os resultados nos mostram que a geomorfologia teve papel importante no cenário de formação territorial das cidades de Cachoeira e São Félix até meados do século XIX. Palavras chave: Cachoeira-Ba. São Félix-Ba. Formação Territorial. Geomorfologia. INTRODUÇÃO A Bahia constitui o maior estado da região nordeste do Brasil e possui grande importância cultural, turística e econômica, pois foi onde se deu início o processo de colonização brasileira.

O turismo em Porto Seguro é marcado por contradições que potencializam desigualdades e violências, associadas ao tráfico de drogas. Tal paradoxo eleva Porto Seguro a décima posição entre as cidades mais violentas do Brasil, situação de vulnerabilidade social, negação de direitos humanos e efetivação de um turismo predatório. O trabalho compreende pontualmente os dois lados desta situação, o primeiro apresenta a fetichização de Porto Seguro como um lugar idílico, o outro lado apresenta os elevados índices de criminalidade ligada ao tráfico de drogas. A metodologia deste estudo utilizou o cruzamento de dados estatísticos oficiais e pesquisas de campo. O estudo conclui que há um grande abismo entre a cidade ideal vendida e fetichizada como paraíso turístico reificado por uma mídia mercantil, e a cidade real ignorada por esta mesma mídia, e onde a população vive ao meio de um fogo cruzado que se monta e um diagrama de controles negociados, ilegalismos na expansão do tráfico de drogas e de uma economia ilícita que se inclui na economia turística.

  • SALVADOR DA BAHIA, BRAZIL Onboard: 1800 Sunday, November 6
    Arrive: 0800 Tuesday, November 1 SALVADOR DA BAHIA, BRAZIL Onboard: 1800 Sunday, November 6 Brief Overview: Salvador Da Bahia simply called ‘Bahia’ by locals, is an energetic and beautiful city. The bright and gold-laden architecture of this city demonstrates the grandeur of what was once the capital of Portugal’s New World colony. The Afro-Brazilian culture of the city is evident in much of the its traditions, specifically in its religious movements, music, dance, food, and martial arts, which have preserved the heritage of the West African peoples that were enslaved and brought to Brazil. Experience Bahian culture through a performance of the Bahia Folklore Dance Company or take part in a drumming workshop. Participate in the immense restoration projects sweeping the city, or meet with locals who took the revitalization of these communities under their wing. Don’t miss out in viewing Salvador’s vibrant coast. Whether visiting the sea turtle project at Praia do Forte or taking a cruise to Itaparica Island, the magnificent shoreline is something to be seen. Out of town: Rio de Janeiro is not called the Magnificent City for nothing. The juxtaposition of dense city and tropical rainforest leaves the imagination with endless inspirations. You can find yourself in the middle of a bustling city street one minute and the next hiking up to an astounding overlook through the Tijuca Atlantic Forest. If you’re into natural wonders, catch a flight to Iguaçu National Park and marvel at its 240 waterfalls. Visit the Amazon: Travel to Manaus, and embark on a riverboat expedition along the Amazon River.
