Salvador & Beautiful Bahia Tour
10 Days / 9 Nights
This 10-day tour of Salvador, Lençois and Praia do Forte showcases the beauty of Bahia, perhaps the state that most people associate with a holiday in Brazil - the vibrant music and Afro-Brazilian culture of Salvador, the natural beauty of Lençois and the Chapada Diamantina National Park, and the paradise beaches of Praia do Forte.
Beginning in Salvador, the capital of Afro-Brazilian culture and erstwhile capital of Brazil, you learn the history of the colonial and slavery times amongst the streets and squares of Pelourinho, the historic part of town. The story of the city and its people lies in its baroque churches, colourful art and live musical rhythms, and in the candomble religious ceremonies and demonstrations of capoeira, the Brazilian martial art developed as self-defence by slaves. You can experience a little of all this during any visit to Salvador.
From the city you travel into the interior, to Lençois and the Chapada Diamantina National Park, possibly the finest of Brazil's parks with flat-topped mountains, tea-coloured waterfalls, lush valleys and incredible views. The area has its own microclimate and endemic flora and fauna. You will undoubtedly encounter some of this as you tour the park, with trails taking you through vegetation to the rivers, falls and the mouths of beautiful caves, all with crystalline waters. Your days are amongst the finest that nature has to offer in Brazil, your evenings can be spent dining on the cobbles of Lençois, outside one of the colourful colonial house. The town and its residents are always a pleasure to know.
You finish with some days on the paradise beaches of Bahia, in Praia do Forte just 90 minutes from Salvador. The small fishing village has turned into a beach resort but retains its small-town feel. There are miles of sand and sea and palm trees with wildlife in the ocean and the lagoon, and many options in case you want to do more than just relax. Snorkelling, whale-watching, turtle-spotting, surfing and boat trips are available on the beaches, while kayaking, hiking and buggy trips are possible around the Sapiranga Nature Reserve. Praia do Forte makes a wonderful few days to finish your tour of Salvador and Beautiful Bahia.
