Localization

How To Get Here
By Car
It is relatively easy to drive to Arembepé as it lies almost directly along the highway BR-099. Look out for the sign for Arembepé, or more noticeably, a large sign for Camaçari.
By Bus
Buses leave the main Rodoviaria in Salvador approximately once every 40minutes, and the journey takes about an hour. Alternatively, buses also leave from Terminal Françes (along Avenida Françes, near Mercado Modelo in Cidade Baixo) at the same frequency. Companies that ply this route are Linha Verde (white buses) and BTU (red buses). Bus tickets cost about R$4-6 and can be bought on board.

Arembepe Part 2 - The Sights
Hi , my name is Lucas and this second post of this topic , here i'm going to talk about the sights we can find in Arembepe.
The Beaches
Praia de Arembepe
It is the most central and urbanized beach, has gentle waves, dunes and reefs that form natural pools , it is a place also very frequented by fishermen who live in the region. Because it is a very popular beach, it has a good infrastructure, with kiosks, bars and restaurants nearby.
Praia do Pirui
Being a beach of medium length, it is still little frequented by tourists visiting the coast of Bahia. It has a narrow strip of reddish sand, its sea is slightly agitated, but the reefs end up forming small natural pools, where children can bathe at ease. It is a good destination for those who appreciate simplicity and tranquility. It has small infrastructure nearby ,being deserted is a good place to surf.
About 3km from the main plaza, Aldeia Hippie is a remnant of Arembepé's hippie days, which attracted the likes of Janis Joplin and Nick Jagger during the peak of the hippie movement. Some hippies still live there, making and selling a variety of handicrafts and jewelry. Visitors are free to explore and learn more about the alternative lifestyle. Aldeia Hippie also offers accommodation for those wishing to spend a few days in a rustic environment

Arembepe Part 3 - The Culture
Hi , my name is Lucas and this is third and final post of this topic , here i'm going to talk about the culture of Arembepe.
Hippie Village (Aldeia Hippie)
The stronghold is about 50 kilometers from Salvador International Airport, in a huge area surrounded by dunes and full of coconut trees, bordered on one side by the beach and the other by the Capivara River. Between the 60s and 70s, it was frequented by the biggest "stoners" who staggered across planet Earth, from Mick Jagger to Janis Joplin, to Roman Polanski, Jack Nicholson, New Baianos, Gil, Caetano, Rita Lee and others. The exact date of the founding of the village is a mystery, but officially the town hall celebrated its 50th anniversary this year.

Local delicacies
Acarajé is a typical Baian dish consisting of deep fried patties made of bean paste, served with shrimp and salad - absolutely delicious and available at most restaurants, but the more adventurous should sample some sold by the street vendors.
Moqueca is a rich seafood stew with coconut milk, usually prepared with the catch of the day or assorted shellfish provided by the local fishermen.
Coco Gelada is fresh green coconut which makes for a refreshing drink and snack on hot days. Usually plucked from coconut trees growing along the coast, the coconut water is refreshing, and the flesh within is a tasty but healthy snack.
Chegança
Chegança is a popular self from Northeast Brazil based on ancient Iberian traditions celebrated in maritime-inspired novels and dances that represent fighting between Christians and Moors.
The Chegança extras are dressed as Navy sailors and act as if they were crew members on the voyage, according to their rank and rank.
