The Friends of Txai Institute

Visit the home of one of the farmers participating in "The Friends of Txai" project, which over the past ten years has benefited more than 150 families that once grew cacao, as well as small farmers from the regional area. This excursion will enable you to share in the daily life of a small farmer and to discover the various activities carried out at their homestead. You will have the opportunity to talk to them and learn about their background. This outing allows you to discover new experiences relating to culture and nature through communities committed to preserving their uniqueness.

Surf

Take the adrenaline out of the drawer and immerse yourself in a sea of ​​sensations on our paradisiacal beaches. Water with comfortable temperature provides pleasant moments. Beginners in surf can feel safe with the help of attentive instructors and lifeguards. The most experienced surfers can choose between several beaches around us and catch the perfect wave. If you want to surf, but did not bring your surfboard, we provide equipment for this adventure.

Releasing turtles

When they are born, turtle hatchlings head straight for the sea, guided by the light on the horizon (which explains why Txai is not as bright as you might expect). Some of the most vulnerable hatchlings need help emerging from the nest and are scooped up by the team at Txaitaruga. Guests are invited to assist in releasing these turtles on the beach in front of the hotel. They can also show their support for the project by adopting a nest.

Excursions

Several excursions around the Txai Resort immerse you in the Itacaré region. On foot, a coastal trail weaves through the Atlantic forest, connecting coves, beaches and ocean lookouts. Further inland, a visit to a traditional cacao grower reveals the secrets behind cultivating and processing the fruit, and includes a tasting. On the Contas River, a boat trip leads to a waterfall, where you can swim in the heart of a protected natural environment.

The town of Itacaré

The town of Itacaré began life as an indigenous reservation. Portuguese colonisation took place in 1530 and today it is the living theatre of Bahian culture. Bahia's cultural and folkloric roots are closely related to the African culture imported by slaves. Capoeira, its gastronomy and the candomblé religion are all expressions of Afro-Brazilian culture. The materials used for crafts in ltacaré are all natural. Coconut trees and oil palms are the preferred trees of local artisans and used to create utensils and ornaments.
