WHY SALVADOR IS WORTH THE VISIT

Considered the “Happiness Capital of Brazil”, the friendly and welcoming residents of Salvador de Bahia – more frequently known as simply ‘Salvador’ – are deservingly proud of their northeast capital city that is blessed with a historically-rich past, gorgeous beaches and one of the best Carnival celebrations in the world.

Once the ex-capital of Brazil and the first colonial capital of the Portuguese empire, the city of Salvador features a fascinating history that locals to this day continue to hold on to, completely immersing themselves into their African, Brazilian and European heritage. Like its colonial motherland in Lisbon, the city is separated into a lower and upper sector, connected by electric elevators. In the higher situated part of the city - Pelourinho - you will find the biggest collection of colonial baroque architecture of Latin America, consisting of decorated churches and houses from the 17th through to the 19th centuries. As it is such a significant part of Salvador history, the center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.

Salvador is considered the Afro-Brazilian capital of the nation and with over 80% of the population being of African ancestry it is no surprise how extensively African culture and traditions have integrated into local folklore and history. Aside from regional Salvadorian cuisine and art, this prominently Afro-Brazilian community can best be appreciated during Carnival week. Salvador holds one the nation’s premier Carnival celebrations that features samba parades, lavish parties and much more.

With over 30 miles (50 km) of beaches that stretch across the coastline of Salvador, there are plenty of options to take in a little sun or swim in the crystalline waters of this lovely city. Beaches are idyllic for sailing and snorkeling. Beach Porto da Barra is a great spot for surfing and underwater fishing. Wander through the city’s charming, lush parks, where there are plenty of recreational activities you can enjoy. Finally, enjoy a night of live Samba music at one of the city’s various live music venues, specializing in Brazil’s most famed genre of music.

Visit this region teeming with history and natural beauty during your custom-made and price-guaranteed Salvador vacation, made easy with the travel experts at Brazil for Less.

DONT JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Our trip was incredibly successful in three different countries: Chile, Brazil and Peru. And in every instance, the coordination of details and execution were impeccably accurate regardless of the country visited. Success at every stage was achieved regardless of location, the weather, the country and/or the time of day or night we traveled and were sight-seeing. In summary, my wife and I are veteran international travelers to four continents and we will never travel to South America without Argentina For Less for the many reasons cited above.

The Argentina and Brazil trip organized for us by Argentina for Less was great. The timing and amount of time for each place was very balanced and we were able to see a lot of things in a short amount of time. The tour guides were punctual, professional and willing to help us have good experiences in each place visited. They were very accommodating and knowledgeable on the history and facts. The trip was also flexible enough for us to customize our agenda according to our interests.

We are back in Malta! We would like to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable vacation. Considering the many countries (Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil) we visited, and the 14 flights we took, all went well. We were always met on time by extremely competent guides. Transport used was always clean and comfortable. Once again, thank you for a great vacation and I will certainly recommend Brazil For Less to those who would like a stress free holiday in South America.

THE SALVADOR ADVENTURE

The northeastern city of Salvador de Bahia – more commonly referred to as “Salvador” – was the first colonial capital of Brazil and the most significant city in the Portuguese colonies after Lisbon. Famous for gold-filled churches and gorgeous mansions during those times, today the city still embraces this historically-rich background, preserving its historical center so well that in 1985 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Salvador is well known for its annual festive street Carnival, considered to be one of the best in Brazil. Tourists and nationals flock to the city for their impressive version of the traditional celebration which features days of samba dancing, decadent parties and a general atmosphere of glee and excitement. Not surprisingly, Salvador is known as the “Happiness Capital of Brazil” thanks to its friendly and laidback residents who welcome anyone wanting to enjoy their beautiful city.

Brazil is known for its large African population which has left a noteworthy impression on everything from the country’s cuisine to its music to its history. No city features a greater concentration of African-Brazilians than Salvador. With over 80% of Salvador’s population being of African-ancestry, it is no surprise the city has been heavily influenced by this society, making it the center for Afro-Brazilian culture in the entire nation.

The third most populous city in Brazil, and 9th in all of Latin America, offers some of the best beaches in the country, perfect for sailing, swimming and snorkeling. This charming city is also served by a number of shopping malls that feature high-end items, as well as more humble markets where you can find just about anything at a price that is easy on the wallet. During the day, be sure to visit one of Salvador’s many recreational parks where you can enjoy a picnic or work up a sweat playing on one of the sports courts. After nightfall, be sure to check out the city’s thriving music-scene at one of Salvador’s hip clubs where you can dance along to samba and Brazilian-inspired funk.

Accompanying you on this trip of a lifetime, Brazil For Less offers the very best in guided tours, excursions and hotel accommodations, suited for all travel requirements and catering for every budget.
