Having picked you up from your hotel in central Salvador da Bahia or Litoral Norte, depending on your booking, we'll head to the famous neighbourhood of Barra to see its iconic lighthouse.
We'll head towards Pelourinho, which is located in the historic centre of Salvador da Bahia, and visit the famous Terreiro de Jesus square.
