Jacobina - Bahia

Jacobina is known as the Cidade do Ouro, the Gold City, a nickname that comes from its gold mining past and still shows in the historic centre of this town in Bahia.

Around the urban core there are waterfalls and hills, the setting that supports ecotourism in the area. It is the kind of destination where a single day can move from the mining past to the water and the hill trails.

In administrative terms, Jacobina gives its name to both the microregion and the immediate region it belongs to, which helps explain why the town works as a base for anyone moving through this part of the state.

The Vivai catalogue has an active experience in Jacobina for travellers who would rather see the place alongside someone who already runs the route there.
