Morning light slides across the hotel garden and the berimbau calls you to the roda; palms press a steady wind toward the beach two miles away and the city hums at a respectful distance.
This two‑week capoeira camp runs from a Pousada near Abrantes on the coconut palm coast, about 13 km from Salvador–Bahia International Airport. The program mixes private lessons in the hotel's 5,000 m² garden with group sessions at the local Capoeira Engenho school in Abrantes, weekend beach trainings and optional city or coast tours. In Bahia, capoeira is both martial art and living cultural archive—born in the 16th–19th century among Afro‑Brazilian communities—and training here emphasizes music, acrobatics, ginga, and historical context.
Abrantes’ shoreline is low, sandy and open; training often shifts from soft sand to packed walkways, so expect a mix of barefoot drills and footwork practiced in light footwear. Sessions typically run daily and can be tailored to all levels: beginners learn fundamentals and berimbau rhythms, intermediates refine kicks and acrobatics, advanced students drill sequences and musical leadership.
Practical notes: the camp includes 14 nights’ accommodation, half board breakfast and dinner, a capoeira uniform and T‑shirt, and local transfers between lodge and school. Bring breathable training clothes, a reusable water bottle, sunscreen and a small first‑aid kit. Hydrate before sessions and pace your explosive moves—ankles and shoulders take the load.
Train with local mestres, listen closely to the instruments, and leave with new technique, a richer sense of Bahian culture, and the habit of moving to the pulse of the coast.
moderate.

Yes—14 nights in a Pousada with continental breakfasts and dinners are included as part of the package.
The camp is about 13 km from Salvador–Bahia International Airport and roughly 2 miles (≈3–4 km) from Abrantes beach; transfers are included for training and some tours.
The program provides a capoeira uniform and a T‑shirt, and you will have opportunities to learn and play berimbau and percussion used in rodas.
Capoeira originated in Bahia among enslaved Africans and evolved into a hybrid of fight, dance and music; Salvador remains a cultural center for traditional styles and mestres.
Coastal areas face erosion and litter challenges—participants are encouraged to use reef‑safe sunscreen, pack out waste, and support local beach‑cleanup efforts.
