Eunápolis

Skip Eunápolis as a destination: it is a transport hub on BR-101, not a place to spend a night unless you need a stop between Porto Seguro and Teixeira de Freitas.

Eunápolis is an inland city in southern Bahia, sitting at the junction of BR-101 and BR-367. It has no major sights and is used almost exclusively as a transit point between the Discovery Coast beaches (Porto Seguro, Arraial d'Ajuda, Trancoso) and cities further south or north. Most travellers pass through in under an hour.
