You will explore the Afro-Brazilian roots of Salvador, beginning at the sacred Yemayá altar on Rio Vermelho's waterfront, which is kept by local fishermen. Along the way you will admire the mystical African monuments at the Tororó Dike and move into the lively São Joaquim Fair, where you can savour the aromas and flavours of African cuisine and taste the famous acarajé. You will also visit a sacred temple to learn about the Ewe Fon tradition of candomblé and gain insight into its cultural and spiritual practices.
The experience finishes with a relaxed lunch at a seaside favela, where you can enjoy panoramic ocean views and time to reflect on what you have seen. Throughout, you will encounter key places and traditions that have shaped Salvador’s Afro-Brazilian identity, with opportunities to taste local food, see important monuments and hear about religious customs from the neighbourhoods you pass through.
