Camaçari lies north of Salvador in Bahia and is dominated by one of the largest petrochemical complexes in Latin America. The town itself is functional, but the municipality reaches the coast, where a string of beach villages give it a second character entirely.
The coastal villages of Guarajuba and Arembepe are the reason most visitors come, the latter with a long association with the counterculture of the sixties and a surviving alternative village. Salvador, with its Pelourinho old town and Afro-Brazilian culture, is around an hour south.
Buses connect along the coast road and into Salvador, and a car is helpful for reaching the quieter beaches. The coastal highway is the main artery.
The Bahian coast is warm year-round, with the wetter months falling around the middle of the year. The drier southern summer is the main beach season and is also carnival time in Salvador.
Brazil uses the BRL, calling code +55.
Brazil uses the real, and Portuguese is the language with little English spoken. The Bahian manner is warm and unhurried, and cards and instant transfers are widely accepted.
