While staying at the Iberostar Bahia resort, there are many ‘must-see’s’ and ‘must do’s’. Here are some of our favorites:

• If you have a car or transportation, visit the Castelo da Torre de Garcia d’Avila. This castle was built back in 1552 and was the first Portuguese edifice in Brazil. Visiting these castle ruins will not disappoint!
• If you’re staying at the Praia do Forte beach, you can’t miss the Projeto Tomar. The entire beach is a natural preserve for sea turtles, but the Projeto Tomar has unique features.
