Morro das Flores

Morro das Flores is a historic district of Ruy Barbosa, Bahia, with a 19th-century church, market, square and colonial houses, about 18 km from town.

Morro das Flores is a historic district that still holds its 19th-century colonial buildings: the church, the market and the square make up the core of what was once an important trading post. Large old houses stand along the same streets as plain, simple ones, and that contrast is much of what there is to see.

The district belongs to Ruy Barbosa, in Bahia, a municipality in the Itaberaba microregion and the Itaberaba immediate region. It is about 18 km by car, roughly 30 minutes on the road, and the visit itself is light going, done on foot through the streets.

In the same municipality the Vivai catalogue lists other outings, such as Recanto da Chapada, Trilha da Serra do Orobó, Travessia da Serra do Orobó, mountain biking and hang gliding, worth knowing about if you want to pair a walk through the district with a day in the hills.
