Coconut Coast Drive to Praia do Forte

  • You will be picked up from your hotel in the center of Salvador.

  • Depending on your location, we will drive through the city along the Atlantic coastline until the entrance to the airport.

  • After passing the airport, we take the main road out of the city toward the north, known as the Coconut Road.

  • First, we drive through the town of Lauro de Freitas.

  • We then follow this very comfortable toll road along the Coconut Coast.

  • Along the way, we pass a succession of beautiful beaches and small villages before arriving at our destination, the village of Praia do Forte, 55 km away.

  • The visit to the village is done on foot, and if you want to visit the Fort of Garcia D'Ávila, the car will take you there after a short drive.

  • At the end of the afternoon, at about 3:30 pm, we take the same road back to Salvador.

  • Once back in the city, we take the most important avenue, called Avenida Paralela, to return to the center and drop you off at your hotel.
