Eunapolis City Car Hire

Eunápolis is a regional center in southern Bahia, located 65 km west of Porto Seguro and 70 km north of Itamaraju via BR-101. With four rental companies in the center, you have a good selection for exploring Brazil's historic Discovery Coast. A rental car is the best way to reach the remote beaches and nature reserves surrounding the region.

The center revolves around Praça Independência and Avenida Guilherme Ferreira, from where BR-367 leads directly to Porto Seguro at about 65 km. Eunápolis is the gateway to Bahia's Extreme South coast with beaches Corumbau, Cumuruxatiba, and Caraíva, all accessible by car. Eucalyptus plantations and cocoa plantations dominate the landscape around the city.

The road to Caraíva (about 100 km southward) is partly unpaved – rent a vehicle with high ground clearance if you plan to visit this remote beach. Porto Seguro center can be traffic-heavy during high season (December–February) – park outside and walk. Always refuel in Eunápolis before heading out toward the more remote beaches to the south.

How long does it take to drive from Eunápolis to Porto Seguro? It's about 65 km via BR-367 and takes approximately 50 minutes under normal conditions. Can I reach Trancoso and Arraial d'Ajuda by rental car from Eunápolis?

Yes, Arraial d'Ajuda is about 70 km away and Trancoso about 80 km. Note that a ferry is required to reach Arraial d'Ajuda from Porto Seguro. What type of car is recommended for exploring beaches around Eunápolis?
