Salvador da Bahia

The brilliant coastal jewel of San Salvador da Bahia has many firsts attached to it. Established in the mid-16th Century by the Portuguese, it was one of the first colonial cities of the New World and the first Brazilian capital. Salvador was also the first slave port in the Americas. This vibrant city continues to hold on to its rich cultural heritage with its colonial architecture and pulsating African spirit. Find its rhythm in the earthy drumbeats that are played out daily on the streets, as delicious aromas of local kitchens fill the air. This beautiful city’s living, breathing Afro-Brazilian culture is ubiquitous – it is to be found in the music and arts, food and spirituality pervading Salvador. Grand churches with rich gold work and popular processions for African gods and mystical ceremonies are to be found co-existing together. The spicy fragrance of okra, shrimp and deliciously fresh Bahia seafood melded with Afro-Brazilian rhythms and dances that are entirely its own, set San Salvador da Bahia distinctly apart from the crowd.

Included activities

Historic Highlights Of Salvador De Bahia

Discover the fascinating history of this pulsating city on this half day tour. One of the oldest colonial cities to be established in the Americas, Salvador traces its roots to the 16th century Portuguese fortress of São Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos. Enjoy a walk along the bay before making your way down tree-lined avenues to reach Pelourinho. It is not surprising that the spectacular and well-preserved colonial architecture surrounding this city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a turn around this magnificent town square, admiring all its grand old colonial buildings. Stop by the glorious São Francisco Church, with its extravagant gold leaf baroque designs, before heading to the Largo do Pelourinho, at the heart of this old neighbourhood. (Half Day; Private Activity & Transfers; Fitness Level: Easy; Please bring comfortable walking shoes. Please note that on Sundays, this tour is available only in the morning).

Bahian Food Trail

Sample the delicious Afro-Brazilian cuisine of the Bahia region on this food trail around Salvador. Seafood, especially shrimps, form the core of much of Bahian dishes. What better place then, to start your food tour, than the colorful local fish markets of this coastal city? Visit the recently redeveloped Agua dos Meninos fish market, which is the main seafood hub of the city. Walk up to the bustling Sao Joaquim market, a traditional open marketplace for the rich produce of the surrounding farming region. This largest traditional Brazilian market boasts of nearly a thousand stalls selling everything from exotic fruits and vegetables to local spices, herbs, wicker baskets and traditional earthen cookware! Stop by a local restaurant for a well-earned and sumptuous Bahian lunch. The region’s favorite seafood stew of Moqueca is certainly worth a try, in combination with Vatapá, yet another Afro-Brazilian staple of shrimp, nuts and peppers cooked in a deliciously creamy coconut milk curry. Both are usually served with rice. Polish it all off with the ubiquitous coconut, milk and eggs desert of the much loved Cocadas. You could also end on the refreshingly sweet notes of thin tapioca wraps with bananas and condensed milk! (Half Day, Morning Tour; Meals included: Lunch; Please bring comfortable walking shoes).
