Cachoeira accommodation from NZ$43

One of Cachoeira's most iconic tourist attractions is the Forte de Santo Antonio da Barra. The Pousada des Arts and Pousada Beija Flor are nearby.

You'd be a flamin' galah to leave Cachoeira without taking a look at the other things on offer in Northeast Region. If you love nature, be sure to explore Northeast Region's beaches, coastal plains and rivers. You could also explore some of the area's traditional villages, shrines and art museums. Visitors and locals alike in this section of Brazil can also enjoy mountain climbing, hiking and picnicking.

Looking for more to do? Spend a few hours visiting the Bahia Marina, Mercado Modelo and Boa Viagem Beach, which you'll find in Salvador, 65 kilometres to the southeast of Cachoeira. The Solar do Carmo and Aram Yami Hotel are some of the long and short-stay options in Salvador. Or, you could consider staying in Morro de Sao Paulo, 95 kilometres to the south of Cachoeira, where you'll find the Vila dos Orixás Boutique Hotel and Karapitangui. If you're staying in Morro de Sao Paulo, set aside some time to visit the Second Beach, First Beach and Third Beach.

If you have time before you say adios to Bahia, make a trip to Antonio Sereia Municipal Stadium. You might like to book a room at the Portal Rio Una Hotel.

Deputado Luis Eduardo Magalhaes International Airport is the most practical airport for flying into and leaving Cachoeira and is 75 kilometres drive from the CBD. If you choose to stay nearby, try the Pousada Poesia or the Mar Brasil Hotel.
