THE LOCATION

The camp

30 kilometers from Salvador, Busca Vida beach is part of the condominium Busca Vida, one-time a farm, disputed for its natural beauty, peacefulness and privacy in front of the sea. Besides being a natural reserve, the access to the Condominium is restricted to owners and guests, and the beach with about 7 kilometers of extension, plus six different beach and point breaks, is entirely disposed to the Student / Visitor.
There aren't any supermarkets or grocery stores inside the Condominium, however all the support needed will be offered to the Student in the Camp, including eventual shopping in surrounding markets, distant about 15 minutes by car.

Salvador & Northcoast

One of the oldest cities in Brazil, Salvador is beautiful for its exuberance.
It was the first Capital of Brazil for its beauty and strategic place. At the time of the slavery, most of the slaves set on shore in the Port of Salvador. For this reason there is a great concentration of the black culture and population in the city, being considered as the Brazilian Jamaica.
It is nationally known for having the greatest number of point breaks and beach breaks per km, with uncountable options inside and outside the city. The crowd tends to spread along the coast, so surfing becomes even more peaceful.
Beyond the wonderful and world-wide known tourist points such as Pelourinho and Baia de Todos os Santos (All Saints Bay), you it will be able to witness and to enjoy Bahia’s typical dance and culture.
