Maraú is one of the most beautiful refuges in Bahia/Brazil

Last week I was really busy with work/project; and then, the weekend came. I was exhausted, so I felt like relaxing a little bit! That’s why I haven’t blogged lately… Oh, well! I’ve been also trying to decide about our next (Mike and I) vacation in Brazil. Oh well. Here I came up with a new destination to Brazil… I had Jeri in mind before (you can see about Jeri in my last post under TRAVEL category). In the middle of the state of Bahia – Brazil we found a hidden paradise… Actually one of my best friends has been living there… Yeah! She and her family decided to live an alternative life… in paradise! Good for her and her family! Anyway, that’s how I became familiar with the place… Even, some Brazilians don’t know about Marau.

A little bit info about: the Peninsula of Marau is like an “arm” of the Dende’s Coast - located at the south of Bahia’s coastline. One side of the “arm” is surrounded by the open ocean and the other side by a bay, Camamu. Reading about it I found out that the nickname for the Marau Peninsula is “Brazilian Polynesia”, so you can have an idea… You know Polynesia… The landscape in Marau is really varied...between little islands, small fisherman villages, desert beaches, natural pools, corals, rivers, waterfalls, mangroves and abundant Atlantic jungle.
