Night Tour Details

We'll pick you up at the scheduled time from your hotel in Salvador de Bahia for this unforgettable night tour of Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The tour begins at the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos Church, built in the 18th century on the Pelourinho hillsides. Here, we'll attend an Afro-Catholic mass, blending elements of African religions with dance and music to honour Saint Anthony and his ancestors.

After the ceremony, we'll tour Pelourinho, admiring the illuminated streets and learning about the celebration in honour of Ogun, a deity from African origins significant in Afro-Brazilian religions. This celebration, known as Blessing Tuesday, has been a tradition for over 60 years and is integral to Salvador's musical identity.

The night tour includes visits to several bars, restaurants, and food stalls in Pelourinho.

Finally, we will return to the hotels in Salvador after 4 hours together.
