Salvador is the starting point of Brazil. Brazil had more slaves than America, and this was a major staging port. The African influence here is very strong, very colourful and very musical. It is a beach destination with beaches challenging the best, but cold currents coming up from the south put a chill in the warm water. For the city tours, food, drink, and churches will feature. Tours listed include the following.

Salvador Outskirts Tour will visit the lower city of Salvador and the coastal area of Baía de Todos os Santos. From Dique do Tororó enjoy a panoramic view of the Arena Fonte Nova football stadium. See the beaches of Ribeira and the Itapagipe Peninsula and visit a tile-painting workshop. Taste a tropical ice cream at the traditional Sorveteria da Ribeira and head to the famous Senhor do Bonfim Church.
