Hey ravers!

I'm finally, after 4 or 5 years of just wanting, organising myself to go to Universo Paralello at the end of the year.

It's the biggest festival in Brazil and I'm sure that this one will be awesome.

Travel Tips

For all of you who are coming from all different parts of the world, here are a few tips that will make your arrival easier and cheaper:

Salvador, capital of the state of Bahia, is our major reference. It lies about 170 km to the north of Ituberá – the county where Pratigi Beach, the festival venue, is located. Salvador has an international airport.

From Salvador there are many way to get to the festival. The most common one is through the Ferry Boat, which leaves from a port in the downtown area. The Ferry Boat crosses the All Saints Bay (Baía de Todos os Santos) and docks in the city of Bom Despacho, on the island of Itaparica. In Bom Despacho there are regular bus lines and shuttle vans to Ituberá. The fare for the Ferry Boat is €1,50 and the bus fare from Bom Despacho to Ituberá is €7,00.

If you rent a car in Salvador, the Ferry Boat charges about €12,00 for the automobile and an additional €1,50 for each passenger.

Another way to reach Ituberá from Salvador is by bus. The company Águia Branca has regular lines leaving from the central bus station in Salvador. The five-hour trip cost about €9,00 and covers a distance of around 350km.

Delays and full rides are common. Please be tolerant.

The fastest way to get to the festival is by hiring one of the companies that will be doing shuttle services for the festival and will leave you in the front gate! Please check directly with the companies for fares and schedules.
