Directions

How to Reach Us

The best and closest airport is Ilhéus (IOS) - Jorge Amado Airport.
We strongly recommend flying here. Your included airport transfer will be arranged to and from this airport.

While Salvador (SSA) is a larger international airport, it is a 5-6 hour drive away. If you fly into Salvador, you would need to arrange your own separate transportation to Ilhéus (via a short domestic flight or a bus) to meet our shuttle.

Accommodation

A cabin in the forest with everything you need. Imagine waking up with the sound of birds, breathing the pure forest air, and feeling the vital energy pulsing around you. At Oca Yary, each lodging option is a gateway to this deep immersion in nature. Triple room with private bathroom are available.
