Overview

How about knowing the first capital of Brazil with whom Salvador lives and breathes every day?

This is not an ordinary walk. It is an invitation to truly feel the Saviour. Every street, every story, every smile. We created this tour for those looking for authentic experiences and want to connect with the soul of the city.

We visited places that shaped the identity of Brazil, with lightness, good humor and the human warmth that only the Bahaians have.

Details:
• In Portuguese, English or Spanish (informed after booking).

Activity itinerary

Farol da Barra
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
In a unique experience, it will be possible to visit the most important lighthouse in the first capital of Brazil. Because it is considered one of the most important ports on the continent, in 1839, the lighthouse was built to help ships. It is 22 meters high and has a range of 18 nautical miles in clear weather. It is also possible to visit its facilities for only R$ 15.00 not included in the itinerary. In addition, the lighthouse of barra is great for watching the sunset and taking beautiful photos.
Dique de Tororo (Pass by)
A huge spring surrounded by our famous orixás.
Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova (Pass by)
One of the most famous World Cup Arenas.
Sister Dulce memorial
  • 30m
The most anticipated moment of the tour. A visit to our Santa Dulce dos Pobres.
Basilica Do Senhor Do Bonfim
  • 1h
Everything starts in Bonfim. Inaugurated in 1669, the church represents a great tradition and devotion of the Bahian people. Location is also very desired for the photos with the famous ribbons of the Bonfim.
Elevator Lacerda
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
At about 63 meters high, it was once considered the largest elevator in the world. We climbed it to get to the pillory. Elevator is used as a public transport that connects the city low to high. It is also great for good photos at the top.
Pelourinho
  • 2h
The ideal place to explore the history of Brazil. With several churches and colonial structures, the pillory is the passion of tourists. The walk involves a lot of sun and some time, but we can go by car in the main squares, in case the person is of a certain age or has a mobility problem. Access to internal streets is not allowed with a private car. Finally, we will have a break for lunch to taste the delicious typical Bahian cuisine.
Palacio Rio Branco (Pass by)
Discover the incredible Palacio Rio Branco where Thomé de Souza ruled Brazil.
Praca Thome de Souza
  • 10m
A square that houses several historic buildings such as the Palácio Tomé de Sousa, Rio Palácio Branco, Salvador City Hall, among others. How to pass it without taking a picture on the "Salvador" sign with the Lacerda elevator in the background.
Praca da Se
  • 10m
A beautiful square, full of historical monuments and what draws the most attention is the Cruz Caída. In that square there was a cathedral that was demolished to create the square. The Fallen Cross represents such an event.
Largo do Pelourinho
  • 20m
Visit the place where Michael Jackson recorded a clip and see our olodum playing. Why not learn to play Olodum's drums, accept the challenge?
Salvador (Pass by)
Return to place of origin safely.
