We will discover the extraordinary history and architecture of Salvador, as well as the rich mix of cultures that makes it such a unique city in all of Brazil. You will be taken on an in-depth adventure through its historical center, with its pastel colored houses and streets paved in cobllestones, home of the first capital of Brazil.
