Itacare , a small beach town located in the state of Bahia, Brazil, is known for having some of the best beaches in Brazil.

Concha Beach This is a wide and gently curving beach located between the Rio de Contas river mouth and the Pontal peninsula. The water is typically calm due to the bay formed by the Pontal Peninsular and the rocks on the side of the beach.

It is surrounded by forest and has a more isolated feel than neighbouring beaches. There is little shade during the day.

Large trees provide natural shade, and there are rocks and shallow pools at one end where you can swim in the river.

Pontal Beach Pontal lies across the river from Coroa Beach and is located on a long, narrow peninsula with ocean waves on one side and the calm river, Rio das Contas, on the other. The area has no permanent infrastructure and is mostly natural vegetation and sand. How to get there:  Take a 5 minute boat ride from the Itacare sign located in front of the big church, Paróquia São Miguel, on Coroa Beach ( map ). The boat costs R$ 7 each way. Bring cash in small bills to pay for the boat, and take the phone number of your boat driver to call when you want to return.

Starting at Itacarezinho, one of the region's longest and mostly untouched beaches, the trail winds along the coast and through the forest arriving at Camboinha, a deserted paradise. The trail then continues on to Havaizinho before ending at Engenhoca. While guides are available for this trail, the trail is fairly straight forward and it is possible to go alone. It is also possible to do the trail in reverse, starting at Engenhoca and finishing at Itacarezinho. I prefer to start at Itacarezinho, descending a steep hill, to avoid ending my trip walking up this hill. There are typically more tourists at Engenhoca and it is therefore easier to hitch-hike back to town from this beach if you prefer not to wait for the bus. If you don't want to do the trail, it is possible to visit these any of beaches on their own, with the exception of Camboinha which must be visited by hiking from either Havaizinho or Itacarezinho. Trail Map: The Four Beaches Trail The map below shows the hiking trail for the Four Beaches Trail from Itacarezinho to Camboinha, Havaizinho, and Engenhoca: 8. Itacarezinho Beach Description: Itacarezinho is the longest beach in the region, stretching over three kilometres with fine sand and a wide beach, even at high tide. It is surrounded by Atlantic Forest and has a small waterfall that flows directly onto the beach during the rainy season.

Then, walk 20 minutes downhill from entrance gate to reach the beach. If driving, there is a R$ 100 fee to drive down the hill and park closer to the beach. You can park outside the entrance gate on the street for free. Food and drink for sale:  Yes - there is one expensive beach club with a restaurant. It's better to pack a picnic.

Take the trail from the left side of the beach (when facing the ocean) to reach Camboinha beach (15-20 minute walk). 9.

Brazil is a growing climbing destination Planning to attend the Curitiba Boulder World Cup? > Book cheap accommodation  in Curitiba >  Find cheap bus tickets  to Curitiba Though Brazil is still relatively unknown on the global climbing map, it is rapidly gaining traction as an up-and-coming destination for outdoor climbing. The country boasts world-class natural crags across diverse landscapes: the sandstone cliffs of Chapada Diamantina in Bahia, the granite monoliths of Rio de Janeiro like Sugarloaf and Corcovado , and the limestone walls of Serra do Cipó in Minas Gerais . Further climbing development continues on the tropical island of Ilhabela , where new sport climbing routes are drawing attention from local and visiting climbers alike. With this diverse climbing terrain, Brazil is poised to become a major player in the global climbing scene - and hosting a World Cup event is evidence this is already underway.

An International Competition A total of 115 athletes  from 23 countries and territories  across four continents  have registered for the event, including 56 women and 59 men. Brazil and Japan lead in representation, each with 12 athletes. Other nations with strong contingents include the USA, Germany, and France, all fielding 10 athletes apiece. The competition will also see several climbers making their Climbing World Cup debut, notably from South American nations such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Honduras. These newcomers include: Women:  Deborah Albuquerque (BRA), Marian Kiara Luna Micheri (ARG), Antonieta Parra Veizaga (BOL), and more. Men:  Davi Carvalho Peres (BRA), Ariel Flores Cheun (ARG), Javier Leonardo Aliaga Nina (BOL), among others. Their participation marks a hopeful sign of sport climbing's expanding footprint across Latin America. The Lineup: Who's climbing in Curitiba Despite its newcomer status as a host, Curitiba is attracting some of the sport’s biggest names. Among the most anticipated male competitors is Anraku Sorato , the Japanese phenom who took silver at the Paris 2024 Olympics in the combined Boulder and Lead event. Anraku is fresh off a near-perfect 99.7-point performance at the Keqiao season opener in China and is determined to cement his place atop the World Cup rankings in Curitiba. He’ll face stiff competition from teammates Narasaki Tomoa , a seasoned World Cup veteran, and his younger brother Narasaki Meichi , both eager to continue Japan’s dominance in the sport. France’s top climbers, including Mejdi Schalck , Sam Avezou , and Paul Jenft , will also be competing in Curitiba. In the women’s field, all eyes will be on Oriane Bertone (FRA) , a past Boulder World Cup gold medallist, who hopes to claim her first win of the 2025 season in Curitiba . A Momentous Occasion More than just a sporting event, the IFSC World Cup in Curitiba represents a symbolic shift in the sport’s global reach. By entering South America for the first time, the IFSC signals its commitment to expanding climbing’s appeal and accessibility. The choice of Brazil - home to both a growing climbing community and vast, untapped outdoor climbing potential, feels both timely and strategic. For Brazilian athletes like Deborah Albuquerque  and Pedro Henrique Namba De Araújo , the event is a rare opportunity to compete at the highest level on home soil. For the South American climbing community, it’s a chance to be seen and recognised by a global audience. Looking Ahead The excitement surrounding Curitiba 2025 is palpable. Whether you're tuning in to watch your favourite climbers or cheering for an underdog from a debut nation, this event promises to deliver. It’s not just about gold medals or World Cup points. It’s about opening the door to a new chapter in competitive climbing, one rooted in inclusivity, global growth, and a recognition that elite climbing can thrive far beyond its traditional strongholds. For Curitiba  and South America, this is just the beginning.
