Bahia Backroads

I just couldn’t leave Brazil without returning to Bahia one last time to get a dose of deep jungle, rugged coastline, exotic fruits, hot, humid air and good vibes. This time I had the pleasure of joining a local family’s road trip. We explored the more remote sections of coastline with little to no tourism, riding on the bumpiest dirt roads I have ever encountered, singing the whole way. The trip was filled with plenty of beach time, water fall slides nestled in the mountains, and a ton of delicious farm fresh fare.  This is the one place in South America that still whispers to me in my daydreams, tempting me to return.
