Cradle of Afro-Brazilian culture and capital of Bahia's gastronomy, Salvador de Bahia is a city can be experienced as much as it is visited : in its flavors, sounds, colors and unique energy.

Here, the scents of spices invade the markets, the drums of samba-reggae resonate in the cobbled streets. Immerse yourself in an immersive experience where flavors, rhythms and traditions blend to offer a unique journey.
A journey into Afro-Brazilian history and culture
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Pelourinho is the beating heart of Salvador , a maze of colorful streets where colonial history meets the energy of Afro-Brazilian culture. Accompanied by your local Azur Viagens guide, you won’t miss any of the secrets of this iconic neighborhood : baroque churches with golden facades, the wild percussion of the Olodum band, artisan workshops and Afro-Brazilian art exhibitions.
Attend a demonstration of capoeira , a martial art punctuated by the berimbau, and let yourself be carried away by the unique atmosphere of the neighborhood, where each alley vibrates to the sound of the past and the present.

A feast for the taste buds: discovering Bahia's gastronomy
In Salvador, every bite is a journey! Discover the acarajé, a golden fritter with a melting center of shrimp and vatapá, or let yourself be tempted by the "moqueca de peixe", a stew flavored with coconut milk and spices. A pure Bahian delight!
The paradisiacal beaches and secret islands of Bahia
Salvador offers privileged access to some of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Porto da Barra , located right in the heart of the city, is ideal for a sunset swim, while Flamengo and Stella Maris seduce with their crystal clear waters and tropical atmosphere.
