Distances by Day

All distances are approximate. They reflect only how we got from place to place so your mileage (literally) may vary. Anywhere we took the bus, it would be possible to ride. The only place where we would caution the reader about the wiseness of that choice would be from Itacaré to Ubaitaba, a route which was almost all steep, rutty, dirt road. Incidentally, this was the only dirt road we encountered along the entire route. Everywhere else was paved and many places had decent shoulders--if not actual bike lanes--on which to ride.
