Tour of the Candomblé Region
Tour Highlights
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Salvador de Bahia to commence our exploration of the Candomblé religion. Get ready to immerse yourself in the mystical allure of the African belief system prevalent in the Northeast of Brazil. Let's dive in!
Our first stop will be the Afro-Brazilian Museum, where we'll delve into the historical tapestry of the state and its profound cultural evolution following the era of slavery. From there, we'll proceed to the Pierre Verger Gallery, curated by the renowned French anthropologist, offering a visual narrative of this transformative period through his captivating photographic archives.
Continuing our tour, we'll venture into a Terreiro, a sacred sanctuary where the vibrant rituals of Candomblé unfold. Here, we'll gain insight into the spiritual intricacies and ancestral customs that define this revered belief system. Did you know that Candomblé reveres nature's spirit as synonymous with the human soul? Discover fascinating tidbits such as these as we delve deeper into the realm of orishas, voduns, and nkisis.
To cap off our immersive experience, we'll embark on a guided tour of the Liberdades neighborhood, witnessing the urban and cultural metamorphosis of the favela and quilombola communities.
As our journey draws to a close, we'll bid you farewell at the tour's starting point four hours after the adventure began.
