Recôncavo Colonial — Cachoeira and Bahia Historic Cities

Departure from the hotel towards the interior of Bahia. In Santo Amaro, we visited the vibrant public market, with local interactions and fresh fruit tasting, in addition to Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Purificação. In Cachoeira — National Heritage — we walked through its preserved colonial streets, visited Igreja do Carmo, Igreja do Rosário, the old colonial jail and Casa da Irmandade da Boa Morte, a symbol of black resistance in the region.

We cross the Rio Paraguaçu to São Félix, where we visit a traditional cigar factory, founded in the 19th century, which preserves the artisanal techniques of Recôncavo cigars. Lunch takes place on a colonial farm, with traditional Bahian dishes and panoramic landscapes, before returning to Salvador.
