São Félix, Municipal district in Bahia, Brazil
São Félix extends along the northern bank of the Paraguaçu River, facing the town of Cachoeira across a historic metal bridge built in 1885.
The settlement originated from a Tupinamba village of 20 huts in 1534, later developing into a Portuguese colonial outpost for timber trade and sugarcane plantations.
The town preserves numerous colonial structures, including the Saint Felix Church, Parish Church of the Infant Jesus, and two traditional Terreiro religious centers.
The municipality lies 110 kilometers from Salvador, with regular bus connections and accommodation options available for visitors exploring the Bahia region.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, São Félix emerged as Brazil's primary cigar production center, with multiple factories and warehouses along its waterfront.
