Additionally we have at our disposal 3 family homes for a very limited number of people, (6 spots.) *TRAVEL How to arrive Closest airport is in Salvador do Bahia. You need to take a taxi from Valle do Capão, close to Bomba. By car If you bring a car please tell us beforehand. From Salvador take to Feira de Santana, Itaberaba, Palmeiras, Caeté Açu, inside Vale do Capão take the road to Bomba. And look for the blue eye of god at your right that's Eden's door, almost where the valley finished (after Rosa dos Ventos, close to Bomba). From Rio, São Paulo e Minas Gerais you pass through Vitória da Conquista to get to Lençóis to arrive to Caeté Açu. By bus The best option is take an overnight bus from Salvador to Palmeiras. There is transport at 6.30am to Caet Açu, immediately after you arrive with the bus. There's a second transfer at 1pm but from the central plaza/market. Not at the bus station. From Caete Açu you can come by moto taxi or we can organize a taxi to pick you up. Walking Not a joke. The natural park it's a wonder of nature we encourage to visit. In that case you need decent camping gear and it is better to have a guide (we can arrange one). The valley is so huge that some people get lost and die... seriously). You can come from Igatu but it's possible (and much easier) to come from Lençóis. Both are great boulder and climbing destinations. The closest walk is Guine and the farthest Mucugé. All of them thought the natural park protected areas. In any case it will be better to leave most of your weight to travel light and start/finish here. Maybe some of us will be interested in walking with you. 😉 *WHAT INCLUDED THE PRICE − 7 overnight stays − 3 meals daily − All movement and yoga classes − All guided Thai massage sessions − An ayurvedic e-book − 1 Sauna − 1 clay pool − 2 half day trekking − One party with a surprise show. *WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED: - Extra treatments - Flight and transportation - Local guides and tours outside the retreat dates. *PRICES 🕊️ Super early Bird = 540€ / (before 21.
