About This Tour

This private tour offers an authentic and insightful journey into Afro-Brazilian culture, going far beyond a standard city tour. Instead of staged or superficial visits, travelers explore meaningful cultural landmarks, sacred spaces, and museums that reveal the origins of Candomblé, Vodun, and African heritage in Salvador. You will visit a traditional terreiro during daytime hours, respectfully walking through authorized areas while learning about its history, symbolism, and spiritual lineage. The itinerary also includes key institutions such as the Afro-Brazilian Museum, Casa do Benin, the Casa de Iemanjá shrine, the Dique do Tororó with its floating Orixá statues, and the Pierre Verger photography space. Guided by a knowledgeable expert, this experience provides cultural context, historical depth, and a deeper understanding of the African roots that shaped Bahia’s identity.
