  • Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of the Black People

    This is one of those churches of Salvador that one must visit even though they are not of the Catholic religion. Preserving its history linked to slaves, the cult liturgy makes use of music inspired by Candomblé's terreiros, to the sound of atabaques. In the back of the church, there is an old slave cemetery. This church is celebrated every Tuesday a Catholic mass that incorporated some of the elements of African culture, such as singing and dancing.

    20 minutes

Learn about Afro Brazilian Culture

Published on Nov, 2023

Great place to learn more about Afro Brazilian history & culture. I recommend getting a guide. Also there are two Afro Brazilian musuems. The other one is closed.

Great time with Wilson!

Published on Sep, 2023

Wilson was an excellent tour guide. He was so passionate and knowledgeable. We absolutely loved our time with him. We even ran into a couple of his family members on the tour, and someone he tutored, which made the tour even more fun and exciting. Wilson is the best.

Wonderful time visiting Salvador de Bahia

Published on Mar, 2023

Stepping into that church will always stay on my mind forever! Also listening to the guide describing the story of the religious statues in the lake moved me. I will definitely come back for a longer visit.

Fascinating Salvador Tour

Published on Sep, 2022

Truly incredible tour. The tour guide knew so much and was able to answer all my questions. I liked that I got to see a lot of sights and learn a lot of interesting history in a short amount of time.

Great experience and super informative!

Published on Apr, 2022

This tour was fantastic! Our guide was so knowledgeable and had so much insight to share, including his own personal stories and experiences. We got to see several parts of the city and learn about the history in ways we never could have by just reading about it. The rain and the museum being closed threw a few kinks in the plan, but those were obviously beyond his control and he was able to adjust and take us to a market instead which was super interesting. Highly recommend!
