Options
When booking your African Culture Tour in Salvador de Bahía, you can choose from the following itineraries. In both cases, hotel pickup and drop-off, transport, an English-speaking guide and lunch are included:
Tour with lunch in a favela (6 hours)
After picking you up from your hotel, we'll start this African Culture Tour in Salvador de Bahía in the Rio Vermelho promenade. Here, we'll visit the sacred altar of the African deity Yemanja, which is very important for local fishermen.
Our next stop will be Dique do Tororó, where you can take photos of impressive African monuments that ooze mystery and magic. Then, we'll enter the vibrant Feira de São Joaquim market, declared Intangible Heritage in Salvador. Here, we'll see numerous traditional stalls to discover the scents and flavours of Africa. Plus, we'll try the famous acarajé, a truly incredible Brazilian dish.
Following this, we'll head to Candomblé Sacred Temple, where we'll uncover the customs and traditions of the Ewé-fon African religion. Finally, we'll journey to a favela in the area for a delicious lunch with members of the community.
The menu will include a traditional dish, to choose between a fish or prawn stew, a fillet of beef or fried fish, all of which come accompanied by rice, beans, and farofa. After lunch, we'll take you back to your hotel in Salvador.
Tour with feijoada with a local family (7 hours)
If you choose this option, we'll start this African Culture Tour in Salvador de Bahía in the Pelourinho neighbourhood, a World Heritage Site.
In this picturesque district, we'll visit the Afro-Brazilian Museum, where we'll delve into the local culture. Then, we'll head to Ferroviario Neighbourhood, to learn about the stories of descendants of slaves.
Next, we'll journey to the Feira de São Joaquim market and, after exploring its stalls, we'll make our way to where you can find the old slave market in Salvador. Our route will continue to the Candomblé Sacred Temple.
Finally, we'll travel to the Garcia Neighbourhood. Here, we'll visit the shop of an Afro-Brazilian family, with whom we'll share a stunning lunch of feijoada, a bean stew with beef and pork. After eating, we'll take you back to your hotel in Salvador.
