Detailed Description
Famous for its history, the religious syncretism, the cultural mix, and its friendly people, Salvador was the first capital of Brazil. Nowadays, Salvador is the capital of the State of Bahia and the third most populous city in the country, bringing together the present and the past in perfect harmony. Basically, the city is divided in two: the Upper and the Lower parts. Both parts have interesting attractions and catch the attention of Brazilian and tourists from all over the world.
Always in an environmental and social concern, the Praia do Forte Eco Resort tries to work with a sustainable system: preserving the nature and its resources, involving the local community – as a social insertion, and respecting their culture. The resort counts with excellent infrastructure and well trained staff. It provides direct contact with nature, where you can observe a lot of species of birds and small wildlife, as well as the lush tropical flora. Besides that, there are more than thirty different activities for adults, youth, and children.
