Local artisans sell handcrafted lace and ceramics at the weekly market, while the scent of acarajé and fresh coconut water fills the air. Whether you're hiking to Mirante do Cruzeiro for panoramic views or relaxing in a natural swimming hole, Floresta Azul offers an authentic slice of Bahian tranquility.
