Coração de Maria, Administrative municipality in Bahia, Brazil.

Coração de Maria is a municipality in Bahia in northeastern Brazil, situated about 86 kilometers from the state capital Salvador. The area spans rural terrain with tropical rainforest and sits at an elevation of approximately 232 meters above sea level.

The municipality was founded and has maintained its status as an administrative division since then. It played a role in the development of the northeastern Bahia region.

Residents celebrate traditional São João festivities each June with music, dancing, and shared meals that define community life. These celebrations bring families and neighbors together in customs passed down through generations.

The location is accessible by road from Salvador, though you should expect longer travel times for the journey. The best time to visit is during the drier months when roads are more passable.

The tropical rainforest climate here shapes daily life and agriculture with heavy rainfall and high humidity throughout the year. This moist environment has shaped traditional farming methods that work with local weather patterns.
