Ilhéus, Administrative division in Bahia, Brazil
Located on Ilhéus Bay at the mouth of the Cachoeira River, this coastal city extends along the southeastern region of Bahia state in northeastern Brazil.
Founded in 1532 as São Jorge dos Ilhéos, the settlement developed into a major port for cacao exports until the late 20th century decline in Brazilian production.
The Cathedral of São Sebastião stands as a primary architectural landmark on the Atlantic shore, representing the religious heritage of the region.
The city maintains connections to Salvador through regular flights from its regional airport and the BR-101 highway network system.
The municipality contains sections of the Una Wildlife Refuge and Serra do Conduru State Park, supporting diverse coastal and rainforest ecosystems.
