Finding decent accommodation in Brazil can be tricky so here are my hidden gems, the top 5 places to stay in Brazil off the beaten track.

Why the Pelourinho is a Salvador hidden gem that comes to life after dark.

Why the undiscovered island of Boipeba, two-hours south of Salvador, is one of my favourite places in Brazil and Bahia’s hidden gem.

It’s bottoms up as you go down the rock slide at one of my hidden gems in Lencois, Brazil

Happy hour at El Jamiro restaurant and bar is definitely that as service comes with a smile at this hidden gem. Oh, and the food here is pretty good too.
