Hi , my name is Andreza and this first post of this topic , here i'm going to talk about the history and the localization of Arembepe and how we can get here.

History

Arembepe was know to be a fisherman's village , and it still retains many elements of the traditional fishing.

The town gained fame in the late 1960s and 1970s, because of the hippie movement and it became knows as a enclave for hippies and attracted several well-known personalities during this era.

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.
