Just 70 kilometers outside Salvador, there is a beautiful place called Praia do Forte. Praia do Forte has been nicknamed the Brazilian Polynesia. Its pride is the 12 kilometers of beaches, where white sand stretches as far as the eye can see in its perpetual beauty.

This tour is a great opportunity to see the endangered sea turtles at Projeto Tamar, a sea turtle conservation project. What began as a small scale project in the 80s has turned into an amazing team effort across Brazil to save this endangered species. Projeto Tamar monitors 1000 kilometers of beaches, with 20 stations in 8 Brazilian states. See the labor of love that has gone into protecting sea turtles so that one day they might not be an endangered species.
