Day 1: Salvador: Arrival

Arrival in Salvador da Bahia and transfer to your hotel.

During colonial times, Salvador was the capital of Brazil.  Due to the unevenness of its terrain and  for strategic purposes it was built in two levels which is unique in Brazil. 

Salvador is famous for its 365 churches, religious and historical treasures, and also for its beautiful sandy beaches hugging the coast.  You can sip on coconuts and gaze out at the azure waters or barter with the locals selling crafts along the beach.

The African slaves brought their “macumba”(voodoo) rites to Brazil when they landed in Bahia.  Even today, the Candomblé cult make many different delights. Bahia food is spicy and the flavors are rich.  Among typical dishes, the favourites are: vatapá, caruru, xinxim, sarapatel and acarajé.  Famous throughout Brazil, Bahia’s “Mercado Modelo”, a covered market place where you can take your pick among ceramic, leather and wood crafts. Or, if you prefer, have a choice of hand-made hammocks and embroidered articles.

Overnight at the hotel.
