Salvador, Luxury Tailor-made Holidays in Brazil

| Tessa, Brazil expert: “Once the country’s capital, Salvador is still the cultural heart of Brazil and it’s the predominance of African culture that makes it truly unique. I’d recommend trying your hand at Afro Brazilian drumming and Capoeira here (half dance, half martial art), it’s not as easy as it looks but it’s lots of fun! Foodies will also love a trip to the local market.” | |

Salvador is the nexus of an incredible arts movement. Wild festivals happen frequently, with drum corps pounding out powerful rhythms against the backdrop of colonial buildings almost daily.
At night, capoeira circles form on plazas and open spaces, while the scent of acarajé (bean and shrimp fritters) and other African delights fills the evening air.
Elsewhere in town, a different spirit flows through the crowd as religious followers celebrate and reconnect with African gods at mystical Candomblé ceremonies.
In fact, there’s no other place in the world where descendants of African slaves have preserved their heritage as well as in Salvador – from music and religion to food, dance and martial arts traditions.
Aside from the many attractions within Salvador, gorgeous coastline lies right outside the city – a suitable introduction to the tropical splendor of Bahia.
Things you really should do in Salvador:
• Amazing caporeira or drumming classes or a performance
• Explore the stunning colonial streets of Pelourinho, UNESCO listed
• Dance the night away during the Salvador carnival
• Great cookery and market tours
• Schooner Cruises to the nearby islands
