Hi everybody,

I will have to go from Salvador to Itacaré in July. I found out that the trip by bus takes 7 hours, that's ok. But do you know from where the bus leaves Salvador and at what time ?
Thank you for this information,

Pascale

The bus leaves from the rodoviaria across the street from the big mall, Shopping Iguatemi. There are frequent local buses and executivos from Barra; leave about an hour to get there in traffic. Walk over the passarela (pedestrian overpass) from the mall side to the bus station.
(Do not mistake the local short distance bus terminal in the middle of the street for the long distance one on the other side.)
The easiest thing to do is to ask your hotel/hostel/pousada to call the bus station to make a reservation. Leave the money for the ticket with the desk clerk--and for an extra R$3, the ticket will be delivered within hours, saving you a lot of valuable tourist/beach time.
One good idea is to take the night bus (leito or semi-leito). They are quite comfortable, with ac (take something long sleeved), seats that go all the way back, foot rests and pillows and blankets supplied. They may stop a few times along the way at bus stations that may be open but pretty deserted, so take some water and maybe some snacks.
Have fun.

Hi Pascale! Its a pitty we didnt meet in Paris, but thats life... Bus leaves from the Salvador Rodoviaria (bus terminal) near the mall... from the airport there is a 30 min drive. Last time i took it to Itacare it left the busstation at 10:30 pm, name of the company is Viacao Asa Branca.
best regards, Schnai

I was once in Itacare,

I took a flight from Salvador to Ilheus, and car ride was about 40 minutes.

I stayed in Burundanga Pousada

Brurundanga itself would've been worth the trip.....

You must do Rafting, you can't go to itacare without rafting....If I am wrong sue me....

Talk to the people from Burundanga and they will put in touch with a guy called Paulo (if I am not mistaken).

You ought write about Itacare....
