Your Travel Experience with South American Tours DMC
The focus of the historical tour through Salvador is on colonial Brazil and Afro-Brazilian history. Pelourinho is one of the largest baroque districts outside Europe and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are centuries-old buildings and churches as well as numerous museums to explore. The tour takes in both the new and old parts of the city. Starting from the Barra district, the tour begins with a view of the Atlantic Ocean and the first lighthouse on the American continent; the Saint Antonio Fort. From there, you will pass through the traditional neighborhoods of Corredor da Vitória and Campo Grande (the scene of the Carnival in Salvador). From the municipal square, you have a good view of the city below and the Bahía de Todos los Santos. We then head towards Pelourinho, through the narrow stone streets, passing some of the country's most important Brazilian colonial roots. After the beautiful churches and buildings of the district, the tour ends at the Terreiro de Jesus square.
The afternoon is at leisure.
