About this trip

Welcome to THE HEART OF BRAZIL


Bahia is an abundant land covered with long empty beaches and the most diverse forest in the world - the Mata Atlantica. Fresh springs, clean rivers and hidden waterfalls feed the Ocean which brings back rain showers     and breeze. The soil and the nature are nurturing like nowhere else.


It is home to many cultures. Indigenous tribes have been present here for centuries. Portuguese arrived in the year 1500 making Salvador their main port. Bahia became the epicentre of African religions, music and dance.    It’s a real melting-pot that Polarny calls his home nowadays.

My trip to Brazil with Polarny Travel was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we landed, the journey was a seamless blend of cultural immersion, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences. One of the highlights of the trip was discovering Brazil’s vibrant music scene. Polarny Travel’s carefully curated itinerary introduced us to local gems – from samba beats that got everyone dancing to soothing bossa nova rhythms that perfectly complemented the breathtaking sunsets. It was a true celebration of Brazil’s soul, and I felt deeply connected to its rich musical heritage. Another unique aspect of this trip was the opportunity to explore natural medicine. Under the guidance of knowledgeable locals, we learned about traditional healing practices and even had the chance to try some remedies ourselves. It was both educational and rejuvenating – a reminder of the wisdom rooted in nature. Of course, no trip to Brazil would be complete without some well-deserved downtime on its famous beaches. Polarny Travel ensured we had the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Lounging on pristine shores, sipping on fresh coconut water, and soaking in the sun – it felt like a dream. Polarny Travel went above and beyond to make this experience truly special. Their attention to detail, passion for showcasing Brazil’s treasures, and dedication to providing a memorable journey made all the difference. I returned home with a heart full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend Polarny Travel to anyone looking for an authentic, enriching, and relaxing adventure in Brazil. You won’t be disappointed!

Rewelacyjnie spędzony czas. Wspaniali ludzie. Niesamowite doznania. Ta podróż to była rozkosz dla ciała i ducha. Mike z Anią przenieśli nas w inny wymiar możliwości w jaki można zwiedzić i poczuć Brazylię. Myślę, że to dopiero początek poznawania świata z tym cudownym duetem 🥰. Dziękuję za to, że Was poznałam i za to, że tak wspaniale zarażacie swoją pasją i energią 😘.

This trip was absolutely amazing and so incredibly well curated. My husband and I got to explore Cuba in all its beauty from the perspective of a local, and we couldn't have asked for a more in-depth experience than that! Thank you Mike and your team for curating a beautiful experience, we will highly recommend you to others!
