Salvador is vibrant, chaotic, and colorful, with a larger-than-life culture that dates back 500 centuries. Salvador’s Afro-Brazilian people – proud descendants of the ~1 million slaves that came through the port of Salvador – have created a culture that’s unrivaled anywhere else in Brazil, or in the world for that matter. Their influence is reflected in the food, music, art and religious practices and we firmly believe that Salvador is supposed to be experienced with all your senses.
