Bonfim Church & Irmã Dulce Sanctuary Tour
Bonfim Church & Irmã Dulce Sanctuary tour
We'll pick you up at your hotel in Salvador da Bahia between 12:30 pm and 2 pm to go to the main Catholic temples of the city, which stand out for their imposing designs.
First, we'll make a brief stop in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Conception. In this baroque-style temple, which took more than 100 years to build with stones from Portugal, we'll contemplate the carving of the patron saint of the state of Bahia.
Then we'll go to the sanctuary of Irmã Dulce, the first Brazilian saint. We'll learn her story while visiting the temple, which is also known as the church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
We'll continue our tour of Salvador's Catholic temples on the so-called Sacred Hill. There is the church of Our Lord of Bonfim, where we'll see colorful ribbons that surround the entire fenced perimeter of the temple. These strips of cloth are tied by the faithful in search of protection, blessing or simply to attract good luck. You be able to tie one on if you want!
Finally, we'll return to your hotel in Salvador, where we'll arrive at 6:30 pm.
