How about navigating the wide, clear and calm waters, in the largest bay of the Brazilian coast: the Bay of All Saints.
How about sailing in the wide, clear and calm waters of Kirimurê, the "great inland sea". In these waters, 56 islands are located, forming the largest bay of the Brazilian coast: the Bay of All Saints. The Bay of All Saints is a setting that holds secrets and many interesting stories, so the only difficult mission here is to choose the most beautiful of the islands. The Bay has an area of approximately 800 km ² of extension by the continent and 300km ² of coastal contour. It has this name because it was first sighted by the Portuguese on November 1, 1501, the day of all saints. The Bay of All Saints went to the source of inspiration to name the state of Bahia. A sea of calm and crystalline waters, surrounded by the Atlantic Forest on the continental side and by a succession of mangroves, restingas and coral reefs on the ocean side. It is in the warm waters of the coast of the Bay that the humpback whales reproduce. Due to its importance, it was declared the headquarters of the Blue Amazon, with the purpose of establishing a world-wide framework of debates on the economy of the sea, naval intelligence and productive chain. The islands reveal churches, such as that of Itaparica, founder of the Catholic religious matrix in Brazil, or the Church of Our Lady of Loreto, symbol of the work of the Jesuits, responsible for the process of indigenous catechesis. It is also possible to appreciate architectural, landscape, historical, natural and cultural heritage. The bay reveals a generosity, translated in the abundant fishery that sustains the riverside ones; in the faith that infects those who visit it; and in the overflowing joy of her majestic beauty. To enjoy this immensity of beauty, it is possible for the connoisseur to know the main itineraries indicated for a boat trip or schooner, and to allow to navigate in this adventure of living remarkable and unforgettable moments. The most accessible itineraries are the visits to the islands of Itaparica, Ilha de Maré and Ilha dos Frades, leaving Salvador. Also in Salvador is possible to glimpse a beautiful partial view of the city, the Fort of São Marcelo, Port of the city, Península de Itapagipe, Church of Bonfim, Fort and Church of Mount Serrat and Ponta do Humaitá.
