Night Tour Details

We will pick you up at the scheduled time from your hotel in Salvador de Bahia to start the night tour of Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. First, we will visit the Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos Church, an 18th-century structure on the Pelourinho hillsides. Here, we will attend an Afro-Catholic mass, blending African religious elements with dance and music to honor Saint Anthony and his ancestors.

After the ceremony, we will continue touring Pelourinho, enjoying the illuminated streets. We will learn about the celebration in honour of Ogun, an African deity significant in Afro-Brazilian religions, particularly during the Blessing Tuesday tradition, which has been celebrated for over 60 years. We will also discuss its role in Salvador's musical identity.

The night tour will include visits to different bars, restaurants, and food stalls in Pelourinho. We will conclude our time together and return to hotels in Salvador after approximately 4 hours.
