Thankfully for environmental workers here at ETIV, and indeed for anyone in the city of Itacar\u00e9, we have dozens of kilometres of stunning coastline in either direction, perfect for a relaxing hike and camping by the beach. Heading south past the city beaches of Concha, Resende, Tiririca and Ribeira, it\u2019s a manageable hike up to Prainha, and the adventurous may seek to make it as far as Itacarezinho.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, we recommend the opposite \u2013 why not take a boat taxi (7BRL, cash only) over the Rio de Contas from Praia da Coroa and head north past Pontal beach\u2026 Time your departure with low tide to tread the sands while firmer (your calves will thank you!) and take plenty of water and sunscreen for the 8km beach hike under the fierce Bahian sun. A couple of hours walking, leaving time for a snack break and a dip or two in the freshness of the sea, and you will end up in paradise \u2013 Piracanga beach. These stunning white sands give way to luscious palm forests and the mouth of a shallow river, perfect for bathing, feeds into an ocean of perfectly formed waves softly crashing onto the near deserted beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop poster=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080414-scaled.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_3254.mov\"><\/video><figcaption>The beautiful location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Escape the hectic, crowded atmosphere of the party town of Itacar\u00e9 and lounge on Piracanga beach by day, bathe in the tranquil freshwater of the river and in the evening, you can take a wonderful meal at the all-vegan restaurant at the Piracanga Ecovila (35BRL). This intriguing community of long-term and passing guests is a deceptively enveloping world of peace and catharsis, an entirely sustainable complex of dwellings and activity centres. While away the hours meeting locals, many of whom will give you real food for thought with their unorthodox life philosophies and their love of the spiritual world of oneness with nature. When darkness falls, a plethora of activities, many of them free of charge, opens up in the Ecovila. Remember that many people live here full-time, and you are their guest when taking part in community life here. When you\u2019ve had your fill, retreat to the peace of your tent by the beach (better yet, your hammock!) and settle in for a night by the ocean under a star-filled sky. Let the gentle whisper of the waves lull you off to sleep \u2013 sunrise is early here, and tomorrow you\u2019ll want to do it all over again!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080390-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080390-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080390-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080390-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080390-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/P1080390-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Our campground at Piracanga<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When the ETIV environmentalists visited, we were given a renewed sense of the emotional importance of the natural world we try to protect at the NGO. For all the spreadsheets of emissions figures and the journals on ecological destruction, sometimes it is important to regain that sense of awe at the restorative power of Mother Earth \u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what you get when you camp on Bahia\u2019s Cacau Coast.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TOP TIP \u2013 PIRACANGA ECOVILA RESTAURANT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Open to visitors and offering truly gourmet options for breakfast (25BRL), lunch and dinner (both 35BRL), this all-vegan eatery is the perfect cheat code if you don\u2019t fancy lugging all your cooking equipment and foodstuffs along with you.
