Traveling in Prado - Bahia (northern Brazil)

If you love warm weather, pristine beaches, great places to eat and relax, then you’ll love Prado. It was love at first sight for me. The moment that Paul and I arrived I could not believe the views. We stayed at a very beautiful, intimate and lovely pousada (same as a small hotel) called Ponta de Areia.


The beaches in Prado are very similar to the beaches in the Caribbean. Also, Prado offer delicious food that you may choose from several restaurants. You can sample local cuisine which is fantastic, or various type of food like French and Italian cuisine. If you go there for one week, you’ll be able to choose a different restaurant for lunch and dinner.

Also, I must say that all the people we met there, from the pousada staff, waiter and waitress and from the car rental (private person), was absolutely amazing. Very courteous, attentive and wanted to serve.

Prado also played an important role in Brazil’s discovery. The colonial houses, dating back to 1535, draw visitors to the Historical Center, where today it is still  possible to see the beautiful Church of Our Lady of the Conception. Together with Porto Seguro, Prado and Santa Cruz Cabrália is part of the Discovery Coast of Brazil.


Calm clear waters, coconut trees, and the formation of several natural swimming pools captivate the visitor who is looking for peace. In many areas of the coast, it is possible to dive and see the beauty of the bottom of the sea.


Ok…dive in and take a look at the pictures so you can see for yourself and maybe book the next flight to Brazil.


Found a campground in Prado - these campers had an amazing view. The RV featured here is from a couple from Swedden (shipped to Brazil to go RVing)
