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.

    Farol da Barra

    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.

    Elevator Lacerda

    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

    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.
