Our Recommendation

9.2
🌊

Linhares Lagoons

View the vast freshwater systems, including Lagoa Juparanã, one of the largest in Brazil.

🏝️

Abrolhos Marine Park

Spot the turquoise waters and coral structures of this world-renowned marine sanctuary.

⛱️

Discovery Coast

The iconic red cliffs of Trancoso and the historic coastline of Porto Seguro.

🚤

Tinharé Archipelago

The stunning islands of Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba surrounded by crystal clear waters.

⚓

Bay of All Saints

The massive 'Baía de Todos os Santos' and the historic skyline of Salvador upon arrival.

The right side is the definitive choice for scenery. For the best water colors, book a flight between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is high. Look for the distinct change in water color near the river mouths and coral reefs of southern Bahia.

⛰️

Mestre Álvaro

A massive coastal mountain dominating the landscape immediately after takeoff from Vitória.

🚜

Coffee and Eucalyptus

Intricate agricultural patterns of the Espírito Santo interior and southern Bahia plantations.

Rio Doce Valley

The wide path of the Rio Doce as it winds through the interior toward the coast.

🌳

Cocoa Region Hills

Lush, rolling green hills of the 'Costa do Cacau' interior as you approach southern Bahia.

🏙️

Salvador Metro

Dense urban sprawl and the northern expansion of the Bahian capital during the final descent.

Choose the left side for dramatic mountain views near VIX and a bird's-eye view of the city growth in Salvador. Morning flights are ideal on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the ocean.
