Full Description:

Your experience begins with hotel pickup in a private vehicle, accompanied by your professional guide.
The first part of the day is dedicated to Salvador's historic identity, with a walking experience through the UNESCO-listed Pelourinho and the charming Carmo district.
As you walk through cobblestone streets and colonial architecture, your guide will bring to life the history, culture, and traditions that shaped Brazil's first capital.
The experience includes visits to important landmarks such as the Church of the Rosary of the Blacks, the Cathedral Basilica, and the Memorial das Baianas, all key symbols of Afro-Brazilian heritage.
You will then descend the iconic Lacerda Elevator, connecting the Upper and Lower City, and continue to Mercado Modelo, one of the city's most traditional cultural and commercial spaces.
From there, the experience transitions into a different atmosphere as you return to the private vehicle and begin a scenic drive along Salvador's coastline.
Passing by the Farol da Barra, you will have the opportunity for a photo stop before continuing along the oceanfront, where the rhythm of the city becomes lighter and more relaxed.
The itinerary then leads toward the northern beaches, where you may choose your preferred stop among:

• Itapuã (more traditional and local)
• Stella Maris
• Flamengo (more spacious and scenic)

At the beach, you will have time to relax and enjoy the environment, with optional access to beach clubs such as Barraca do Lôro, Barraca da Pipa, or Barraca do Alambique.
These locations offer structure with chairs, umbrellas, and service (usually around BRL 80 per person, not included).
As part of the experience, you will also be invited to taste a traditional acarajé, one of Bahia's most iconic street foods, offering a genuine connection with local gastronomy.

After the experience, you will return comfortably to your hotel.
