Brazil
Much as I really liked Salvador, I really wanted to chill out for a bit after a few days there. We were going to head up to Recife and Porto da Galinhas but the company we went with recommended going a little way south to Itacare instead, and I'm really glad we did. It had a totally different vibe, really calm and with some amazing scenery to boot, as the Atlantic rainforest falls down into the ocean. Absolutely beautiful!
