Bonfim Church & Irmã Dulce Sanctuary tour

Pickup will be at your hotel in Salvador da Bahia between 12:30 pm and 2 pm to visit key Catholic temples known for their designs.

We'll first stop in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Conception. This baroque-style temple took over 100 years to complete with stones from Portugal, allowing us to view the statue of the patron saint of Bahia.

Next, we will visit the sanctuary of Irmã Dulce, the first Brazilian saint. The visit will include insights into her story and the temple, also called the church of the Immaculate Conception of Mary.

We will then tour Salvador's Catholic temples on the Sacred Hill, home to the church of Our Lord of Bonfim. Here, colorful ribbons adorn the temple's perimeter, tied by those seeking protection, blessings, or good luck. You will have the opportunity to tie one on if desired!

We will conclude with a return to your hotel in Salvador, arriving by 6:30 pm.
