Additional Information

With its establishment dating back to 1549, this city has a vast wealth of history waiting to be shared. Once the first capital of the country and home to Caramuru and Paraguaçu, it brims with fascinating surprises at every turn. Experience a journey that unveils major landmarks of the venerable São Salvador, such as the Farol da Barra and Pelourinho, housing one of the most extensive high-relief Portuguese-inspired urban complexes.
