On this tour, you will know the most important places in the old part of Salvador. As it has been the first capital of Brazil this is also a historical tour. We visit the neighborhood of Barra, the place where the Portuguese colony started and where I discovered Salvador some decades ago... but I had more eye for the beaches at that time! We visit the iconic lighthouse to have a splendid view of the bay and ocean. We take the Avenue of the 7th of September to get to the Pelourinho, my favorite place in Salvador.
It's also called the Historical Center, a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, and it's a must for the visitors. A complete old neighborhood, upon a cliff inside the bay, full of churches and magnificent colorful mansions in typical Portuguese colonial style. We visit this place walking through the lively squares and cobblestone streets experiencing the local atmosphere and people that will not let you impassive.

Dirk est un excellent guide ! Nous recommandons chaudement son tour. Nous étions un groupe familial de 10 personnes pour visiter le pelourinho. Il a su nous parler de l’histoire du Brésil et de Bahia, de la culture locale, des différentes influences africaines pour la musique et la vie. Un passionné d’histoire plein d’anecdotes et parlant parfaitement le français. Un très bon moment avec Dirk !
