| charles's Full Review: Salvador da Bahia |
For many foreigners, Brazil is synonymous with the Amazon, the rivers, the huge rainforests, the grandiosness of the Rio do Janeiro carnival with its hedonistic pleasures and the various ethnic groups and cultures that share the country with the largest land mass in America. Brazil is more than that. Any modern adventurous traveler knows the importance of the conservation of the rainforest and its impact on the ozone layer. If you visit Salvador da Bahia or simply Bahia, you will see that tremendous efforts are underway to protect the ecosystem. By visiting Bahia, you will contribute to the economic benefits brought by the practice of ecotourism. Your visit will encourage and will be a powerful incentive to the natives. Believe me, if you may. By choosing to invest your tourist dollar in such a place that is so oriented and determined to save the ecosystem, you will contribute to your own survival on this planet wherever you may be from.
Here are several top reasons why you want to go to Bahia:
1. You will be able to see lots of historic buildings. This state enjoyed 300 years of importance to the Portuguese empire. It was only second to Lisbon.
2. Bahia is the most Africanized state of Brazil. You will be able to visit a very important museum there.
3. Now, you may not be able to pick among the many beaches of blue water. They are so beautiful. You will have lots of difficulty choosing one to go to.
4. If you go to the Abrolhos Islands which lie 43 km from the community of Caravelas in southern Bahia, you will be able to observe the humpback whales, beloved for its docile temperament, songs and acrobatic leaps. They were once hunted to extinction. They are now on the road to recovery. They star in their own documentary aptly called: "The Whales's Paradise." The film shows current efforts to protect the whales and the Albrolhos ecology.
5. Visit the local Humpback Whale Foundation and see how the work is going. Take the sun in and enjoy the Brazilian music with the natives who can unimaginable tricks. Well, this is what's called talent!
