Your journey will commence with a timely pickup from your accommodation in Salvador de Bahia, setting the stage for an unforgettable evening in Pelourinho. This renowned area, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands out as one of the city's most treasured historical locales.

Our first stop will be the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos Church, an 18th-century architectural gem perched on the hillsides of Pelourinho. Here, you will participate in an Afro-Catholic mass, a vibrant ceremony that intertwines African religious traditions with music and dance to pay homage to Saint Anthony and his ancestral roots.

Following the mass, the night tour will unfold further as we stroll through Pelourinho’s enchanting streets illuminated by soft lights.
