Overview

We will meet at 2pm in front of the Cathedral Basilica of San Salvador and begin a walking tour to learn about the influence and legacy of African culture in Salvador da Bahia. First, we will go to Terreiro de Jesus, where we will learn about the history of the colonization of this area of Brazil through the actions of the Jesuit Missions and Portuguese colonization. We will also meet some African celebrities who have worked in Salvador de Bahia throughout history.

Itinerary

Praca Terreiro de Jesus

First, we will go to Terreiro de Jesus, where we will learn about the history of the colonization of this area of Brazil through the actions of the Jesuit Missions and Portuguese colonization.

10 minutes
Casa do Benin

The House has a collection made up of around 200 pieces originating from the Gulf of Benin, collected by French photographer Pierre Verger throughout his trips to Africa, to study the ebbs and flows between Africa and Bahia. It also has pieces related to Afro-diasporic culture, donated by artists and institutions.

25 minutes
Olodum

We will visit the Olodum School, an Afro-descendant cultural and educational center where we will analyze the importance of Carnival in the city.

20 minutes
Igreja e Convento de Sao Francisco

San Francisco Cruise. Here we will tell about the birth, in the 19th century, of a male organization whose objective was to help the black community of Salvador in the fight for its liberation. We will also learn about another fundamental part of African culture, such as samba and capoeira dances. The rhythms are sure to make you want to move your feet!

15 minutes
Angola House

The African influence in Brazil appears in the language, food, music, behavior and religious manifestations. The Casa de Angola cultural center, located in one of the colonial mansions, built in the 18th century, was founded on November 5, 1999 with the aim of keeping alive and consolidating cultural ties between Brazil and the African country.

25 minutes
N/A

There you come into contact with works that talk about black identity; of Africa as the continent from which all humanity originated; the issue of trafficking in people who were enslaved; of black resistance, quilombos and revolts. You also learn about contributions to cuisine, religion and popular festivals, as well as sports and music, which is an exuberant array of samba, semba, maracatu and others.

40 minutes
Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black People

The objective of this association is to worship the Virgin of the Rosary, through faithful observance of the rules of its commitment. The Venerable Third Order of the Rosary of Our Lady at the Gates of Mount Carmel – Brotherhood of Black Men is, first and foremost, a Roman Catholic apostolic brotherhood with an African slant. It has maintained, with dignity and renewal, throughout its more than three centuries, its characteristics as an African territory in the diaspora.

20 minutes
Elevator Lacerda (Pass By)

The Conceição Hydraulic Elevator – which has been on an electrical system for some time – and in the past popularly called “Parafuso”, was the first urban elevator in the world. When it opened in 1873, it was also the tallest, at 63 meters. It connects Bairro do Comércio to Cidade Alta, in a journey of approximately 20 seconds. That's when there's no queue. So, on party days in that area, be prepared because the elevator is used as everyday public transport by those who live in the city.

Additional Info

Service animals allowed
Public transportation options are available nearby
Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap

Adilson was wonderful. He...

Published on Feb, 2025

Adilson was wonderful. He was on time for the tour. Adilson was knowledgeable and took his time when explaining something we didn't understand. He was sure to ask of we needed breaks. He also gave a great suggestion for where to eat for lunch. Thank you Adilson!

Unforgettable experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Amazing experience! One of the highlights of our trip. Our tour guide, Adilson, was extremely knowledgable, likable, and accommodating. He has a deep reverence for Salvador and its history, and it showed in everything he showed us. He knew a lot of people in the community, and was able to show and tell us parts of the culture we wouldn't have seen on our own. He answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations on where to eat and spend our time. I am so grateful to have spent the day with him, and share in his vast knowledge. I will recommend this tour to anyone I know coming to Salvador.

Excellent tour by Eduardo!

Published on Aug, 2024

Eduardo was an excellent guide! Very knowledgeable of Salvador's history as well as Brazil's history with colonialism as a whole, especially Afro-Brazilian culture. Very thorough overview and walk through the historic district. Excellent historian and very personable. Highly recommend!
