Salvador de Bahia, with its tropical essence and happy colors, is Brazil at its purest.
Visiting Salvador de Bahia means discovering the history and essence of Brazil. Here, Tomé de Souza founded the first capital of Brazil, on March 29, 1549. The city contains buildings of priceless architectural value like Mercado Modelo, Iglesia de São Francisco and the colonial houses in the Pelourinho neighborhood. This cultural richness, the wonderful weather and the hospitality of its people make Bahia a destination like none other.
Salvador is also the entry point to its more than 50 kilometers of gorgeous beaches, like Itapuã and Porto da Barra; charming fishing villages, like Cachoeira and Morro de São Paulo; and natural reserves of extraordinary beauty, like Sapiranga and the lovely town of Imbassaí. In these places you can enjoy exciting activities, like watching gray whales, diving in coral reefs, surfing in crystal-clear waters, practicing free flight while paragliding, riding a horse or bicycle and going hiking to discover the impressive local flora and fauna.
When evening comes, the bars and terraces of Salvador de Bahia fill with people ready to have a good time. Every night in the neighborhood of Pelourinho there are parades of samba and afoxé groups singing and dancing to Afro-Brazilian rhythms. You will also find on its streets the best restaurants for trying the exquisite Bahia gastronomy, a display of the cultural fusion of the Portuguese, indigenous and Africans. In this guide, we give you the keys to enjoying your vacation in Brazil to the max.
