Itacaré is a historic city located on the southern coast of the state of Bahia, in Brazil.
The region was inhabited by indigenous tribes until the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, who established cocoa plantations and created a trading port.
During colonial times, Itacaré was an important trading center for cocoa and African slaves.
In the 20th century, the city lost its economic importance and was discovered by surfers in the 1980s, becoming a popular tourist destination for its beaches and natural beauty.
Currently, Itacaré has maintained its historical and cultural charm, with colonial houses, old churches and ruins of old cocoa plantations, as well as being a paradise for lovers of nature, surfing and ecotourism.
