Ilheus,
located at the south of the state of Bahia, is a growing resort
area with many unspoiled beaches spreading both to the north
and south of the city. Ilheus is an important shipping center
for the cacao industry.
Ilheus,
and its municipalities of Comandatuba, Itacare and Canavieiras,
is a true ecological and tropical paradise. Dozens of kilometers
of nearly-deserted beaches and seemingly endless coconut groves
share the coastline with a lush variety of vegetation from the
native coastal rainforest to vast mangroves and stately cacao
plantations, some of which have been used as setting for films
and soap operas.
