Ilha de Boipeba, Bahia

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Lets continue the journey in Bahia and visit Costa de Dendê which is south of Salavador. The first stop here is the island Boipeba. If you love beautiful coconut-palmed beaches, it is the right place for you! m'boi pewa - is a Tupy Indian word which means flat snake, in reference to a sea turtle, giving the name to the island of Boipeba. The ocean on one side, and the Inferno River on the other, creates a magical place and home of many species.

Up and down the coast you encounter reefs. The wide reefs are full of canals and shallow pools. Lets go snorkling and discover some marine life.
