Pelourinho Night Tour

On this night tour of Pelourinho, we will visit the most important historic area in Salvador de Bahia and attend an Afro-Catholic mass.

Night Tour Details

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

Our first stop will be the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos Church, built in the 18th century on the Pelourinho hillsides, where we will attend an Afro-Catholic mass. This ceremony uniquely blends elements of African religions, dance, and music in honor of Saint Anthony and his ancestors.

After the mass, we will continue exploring Pelourinho, taking in the illuminated streets. We will discuss the celebration in honour of Ogun, a deity worshiped in Afro-Brazilian religions, focusing on the historical Blessing Tuesday celebration that has been observed for over 60 years, and its significance to Salvador's musical identity.

We will also visit various bars, restaurants, and food stalls in Pelourinho.

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