development and conservation of cultural and natural resources
of Brazil, promoting the training of professionals and business
people, in addition to implementing studies, researches and
projects.

ride along the river is also part of the leisure options.
Besides being relaxing, on the way, you can also admire the
scenery on the Contas River (Rio das Contas), the mango swamps,

from Ilhéus to Itacaré, was transformed into
a scenic drive so this paradise can be even more appreciated.
Between July and November, it is possible to admire the evolutions
of the Jubarte whales that migrate to the region in this season,
looking for a warmer climate and higher water temperatures,
which are great for reproduction.
Between March and April Itacaré is changed into a large
stage for the reproduction and egg-laying of the sea turtles
which return each year to places like the Piracanga beach
and the Pontal to find the necessary peace for this precious
moment.
