- Sao Joaquim market - You can visit the biggest and swarming open market of the city where the locals go to buy their food, like veggies, fruits, meat and fish, over kitchen appliances but also all you need to organize your Candomblé ceremony.

On this tour, you will get a different view of the Salvador by visiting its Lower City and the peninsula of Itapagipe. It’s completely surrounded by the calm waters of the bay, an oasis of peace at only 8 km from the busy harbor area and my favorite part of the city where I lived for more than 20 years.
I recommend a visit to the biggest and swarming open market of the city, called São Joaquim to dive into the daily live and habits of the locals and discover some secrets of the Candomblé, the African religion.
We visit neighborhoods like Ribeira, with fantastic views on the Bay of All Saints and its small marinas and the possibility to taste the best ice cream of the city!
Then the famous church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim, a unique place for pilgrimage where you can still feel the syncretism between Catholicism and Candomblé.
Finally the Fort of Monte Serrat and Ponta de Humaitá, the most romantic spot in Salvador with the possibility to see one of the most wonderful sunsets of Brazil!
