Serra da Santana

Serra da Santana, in Piatã, Bahia: a 3 km walk up to a 1,700 m summit, tied to local religious tradition and to watching the sunrise.

Serra da Santana is a highland in Piatã, in the interior of Bahia, with its summit at 1,700 metres. The place is known for a local religious tradition that brings the faithful up to the top to watch the sunrise during Holy Week.

Access is on foot, along a route of about 3 kilometres. The walk takes around 3 hours and the physical effort is rated moderate, so good footwear, water and a willingness to climb are in order.

Piatã sits in the Seabra microregion and the immediate region of Seabra. Elsewhere in the same municipality, the Vivai catalogue lists Cachoeira do Cochó, Cachoeira do Patrício, Serra da Tromba, Trekking Morro do Navio, Serra do Gentio, Garimpo da Mutuca and the Travessia Piatã a Catolés, so the climb up Serra da Santana can be paired with other days of walking in the area.
