== Geography ==

Bahia has an area of {{convert|71761.6|km2|sqmi}}, ranking as the [[Administrative divisions of Cartadania#States|23rd largest state in the country]]. Its shape is roughly pentagonal, with water bodies surrounding it on three sides. To the north, it shares its border with the state of [[Santarém]], while the eastern border is shared with the state of [[Aveiro]]. The eastern region of Bahia is also home to the westernmost portion of the [[Teyacana Mountains]], which feature the highest point in the state, [[Point Amaral]], standing tall at {{convert|1441|m|ft}}. The state's central piedmont region is characterized by rolling hills, making it a beautiful region with natural landscapes. The coastal region, however, is largely flat, with long stretches of beaches attracting tourists from all over the world. Bahia's coastline is also home to several natural ports that have been utilized for centuries for trade and commerce, especially within the Bay of Caroleena. The Teyacana mountain range that runs through the state's eastern region is a vital natural resource for Bahia, with its lush forests and diverse flora and fauna. The mountain range is also an important source of freshwater, supplying several rivers that sustain life in the region. To the east of Bahia lies the Averia Channel, where it shares a maritime border with Tainoquira County, Aveiro. This has facilitated trade and commerce between Bahia and Aveiro in many regions, providing a vital connection for both states.
