Itaparica Island -
Brazil

Oficjalna strona regionu
Brazil covers
almost half of the South American continent and it is bordered to the north,
west and south by every country in South America, except Chile and Ecuador. To
the east is the Atlantic Ocean.
Our exotic village of Itaparica is set on the island of Itaparica itself which
is located in the State of Bahia in the north eastern region of the country.
Our village basks between a magnificent beach on one side and an artificial lake
on the other, in its own tropical island paradise of lush vegetation and palm
trees.
Here you can enjoy a fun-loving atmosphere and meet a cosmopolitan crowd of
South Americans.
A multitude of sports are on the agenda and you might like to try your hand (or
foot) at some of the particularly original landsports, including Argentinian
paddle (a mixture of squash and tennis), flying the trapeze at the Circus School
and of course the football is a must.

The most famous island in Bahia,
Itaparica Island is divided into two Districts: Vera Cruz and Itaparica – which
means “stone circle”. The island is surrounded by coral reefs and great natural
tide pools in the Atlantic Ocean.
Itaparica boasts a beautiful
tropical vegetation and a rich cultural and natural heritage. The beaches
surrounding the 240 km2 of shoreline offer great diving, walks, horse riding,
biking and kayaking, among other activities.
