The Land of Happiness

Considered the principal entrance gateway to northeastern of Brazil, Salvador, capital of Bahia, until 1763 was the capital of the Portuguese Crown in Americas.

Walking on the streets of the Historical District of Salvador is like being taken back to the ancient times of Brazilian History. The tour guides are very well prepared to explain how the colonization of this city happened. One gets lost in the slopes of the High City where the streets and slopes of Pelourinho, reformed two years ago, invite you to stroll amongst small handicraft shops.

Its people is formed by native Americans, Portuguese and Africans and present a unique ethnic and cultural diversity that stands out for its harmonious and democratic coexistence, rarely found in the world today.

The particular traits of each ethnic group that forms the city’s population create original music, dance and many other artistic and cultural expressions.

The city’s tropical climate is enhanced by steady gentle breeze blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean and the All Saints’ Bay. With approximately 50km of beaches and one third of the shores of the All Saints’ Bay, with some natural swimming pool formations and generous shade under the coconut trees.
Salvador is the ideal location for relaxing seaside vacations and the practice of water sports.
