Excursión ciclista de un día de Salvador a Lauro de Freitas

Get ready for a fantastic ride along the Bahia coastline! This route starts in the vibrant city of Salvador, a place famous for its Afro-Brazilian culture, colorful colonial architecture, and lively music scene. From there, you’ll head northeast toward Lauro de Freitas, a beachy suburb that’s become popular for its laid-back vibe and beautiful shores.

The journey covers just over 42 km, offering a mix of quiet roads and some stretches on cycleways—so you’ll have a chance to enjoy the scenery without much car traffic. Most of the route is paved, with a fair amount of smooth asphalt and a bit of concrete here and there, so it’s cruiser-friendly.

There are a few rolling hills—you’ll climb and descend about 500 meters in total—enough to keep things interesting but not too grueling. As you approach Lauro de Freitas, you’ll experience a noticeable shift from the bustle of Salvador to quieter, more relaxed neighborhoods, often dotted with inviting café stops.

All in all, it’s a scenic and varied ride, great for exploring the best of Salvador’s surroundings and soaking up some sun along the Atlantic coast!
