Please note this is a sample itinerary and your actual itinerary will be adjusted based on your selected activities, dates of travel, and of course your travel style!
You will arrive at Salvador Intl. Airport and private transportation will take you to your hotel in Salvador, where you can rest and relax. In the evening, you will experience the charming Bahian nightlife. Your tour guide will pick you up and take you to Pelourinho for dinner at a wonderful restaurant and then you will take a short stroll through the old quarter.
Start at Farol da Barra, where Salvador was founded in 1549, then drive along Sete de Setembro Avenue and Corredor da Vitória, passing colonial houses. Explore Campo Grande, Piedade, and Castro Alves Square before walking through the old city. Visit the Pierre Verger Foundation, the African Museum, São Francisco Church, and the slave-built Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Homens Pretos Church. Enjoy local Bahian cuisine and a Samba-Reggae percussion lesson.
Begin your culinary adventure at São Joaquim Market, where you’ll handpick fresh, natural ingredients. Then, under the guidance of expert local chefs, dive into the preparation of traditional Afro-Brazilian dishes, while exploring Bahian culinary history. Finally, indulge in the flavorful specialties you’ve crafted, complemented by natural juices and Bahian desserts.
Candomblé is an Afro-Brazilian religion that blends African spiritual traditions with Catholicism, worshiping deities known as Orixás. We visit a traditional Candomblé temple, where this Afro-Brazilian religion preserves African values amidst the city’s growth. Then, we explore CURUZU – LIBERDADE, Salvador’s largest Afro-descendant community, with a neighborhood walk and a quick stop at a local bar. Next, we admire the Orixá sculptures at Dique do Tororó, and end our tour at Rio Vermelho, home to Yemanjá’s house, where a major celebration occurs every February 2nd.
