With a 200-metre canoe trip and a two-mile dirt trrack ride to get to the nearest pockeet of civilisation, it's unlike you'll be embarking on a gastro tour of the area.
Worth getting out of bed for
The Bahia coast is a top surf spot and Hotel Fazenda da Lagoa has an instructor on hand to help you get the best of the breaks. Other water-bound diversions on offer include kayaking, scuba diving in the Macaba lagoon, river boat trips and marlin fishing, and there's plenty of jungle jaunts to enjoy too – from trekking and horse riding to golf on the mangrove-flanked Comandatuba Ocean Course, one of Brazil's fnest.
