Boipeba

Boipeba Island is located in the municipality of Cairu, on the coast of the state of Bahia, close to the island of Tinharé, where Morro de São Paulo is located. Together they make up the Cairu Archipelago. The name of Boipeba originated from the word tupy – m’boi pewa – which means flat snake if translated literally, but means “sea turtle”. Boipeba is one of the oldest places of colonization in Bahia, as, in 1537, the Jesuits founded the Boipeba Village and Residence. The island is made up of the villages of Velha Boipeba, São Sebastião (Cova da Onça), Moreré and Monte Alegre. Historically, the existence of Biopeba dates back to the times of the Discovery of Brazil, its registration dates back to 1535. This paradise has a hot humid climate, whose temperature varies between 20 and 30° C.
