Location information for Ilhéus Jorge Amado Airport

Bahia-Jorge Amado Airport is named after a renowned Brazilian author who is among the most famous residents of the city of Ilheus. This coastal city lies just a couple of miles away with car rental in Ilheus Airport. This airport's passenger traffic increased by a dramatic 80 per cent between 1981 and 2010, when over 412,500 visitors were served here.


Ilheus Airport facilities

Some of Brazil's first flights landed at this airport, where passengers can presently take flights aboard five different airlines to all of the country's most populated cities. Visitors can grab food at the snack service or compare car hire at a couple of companies. After parking at one of the airport's 60 available spaces, visitors will encounter a bust of Jorge Amado at the airport entrance.


Ilheus Airport excursions

Jorge Amado's former estate has been converted into a cultural centre, while the ruins of a 16th century sugar mill lie in the botanical gardens. The beaches outside of Ilheus are considered cleaner and less crowded than those in the city limits. Visitors should use car hire in Ilheus Airport to reach any of the cocoa plantations in the surrounding countryside. The footbridge view from the middle of Una's Ecopark plantation is truly unforgettable.


Best time to visit

The climate in Ilheus is invariably humid, hot and tropical during all 12 months of the year. However, the humidity in Ilheus is less severe than in Rio de Janeiro in the December to March winter months thanks to soft Atlantic Ocean breezes. Winter weather between June and September is filled with several days of rain, but rain is also a common occurrence between April and June, the autumn months.


Car rental in Ilheus Airport

The main coastal road south of Ilheus is the BR-101, but visitors arriving from Salvador should travel by ferry to avoid this road's heavy truck traffic. The smaller BR-415 road also connects the two cities. The BR-415 is the main road leading west from Ilheus into Itabuna, while the BR-251 branches southwest.
The BR-262 is another coastal road leading north from the city.
