Day 09, Monday - Salvador:
Breakfast at the hotel.
The historical tour invites you to travel through time, to walk the paths, hills and to visit the squares, churches and forts that were landmarks in the first Capital city of Brazil. Special attention it centred on Pehourinho, Latin America's largest colonial architectonic complex.
Pelourinho is the name of an area in the center of the northeastern Brazilian city of Salvador which means "pillory, the stocks or a place of public shame" and in colonial times it was a place of horror for slaves who were taken there to be thrashed.
Pelourinho was described by UNESCO as the most important collection of baroque colonial architecture in the Americas and has been recently restored to its sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth century splendor. It retains a traditional atmosphere rarely found in old cities, because in Bahia, tradition lives on, intermingling with its present.
In Pelourinho, a place where the visitor breathes culture and history, we find the House of Jorge Amado Foundation, the City Museum, the Udo Knopf Museum, as well as the gold-plated church of São Francisco. Pelourinho is also the home of afoxé groups such as Filhos de Ghandy and Afro groups such as Olodum, symbols of Bahia’s traditional culture.
Optional today: Bahia By Night Dinner & Show at Coliseu:
A folklore show presentend by natives will give you a chance to discover the rich diversity of the Afro-Bahia traditions of Candomblé, Maculelê, Samba de Roda, Puxada de Rede and the traditional Regional Capoeiras, filling the spectator with the "Axé", of the Land of Happiness, followed by a dinner of typical dishes (beverges not included)
