Welcome to
THE HEART OF BRAZIL
Bahia is an abundant land covered with beaches, hills and tropical forests. Fresh springs and waterfalls feed the Ocean which brings back rain showers and breeze. The nature is fertil like nowhere else.
It is home to Afro-Indigenous cultures. Local tribes lived here for centuries. Portuguese made Salvador the Brazil's first capital. The state is a real melting-pot that Polarny calls his home nowadays.
