Overview
Discover the origins of Salvador and Brazil on foot with our Free Walking Tour Salvador, a journey through the city where Brazilian history truly began. This historic walking tour Salvador explores Santo Antônio Além do Carmo and the heart of the Historic Center, revealing stories that go far beyond Pelourinho.
As we walk through churches, squares, slopes, and cultural landmarks with rich historical and cultural context — you’ll understand how Indigenous, African, and European influences shaped Salvador. The tour also offers meaningful insights into Afro-Brazilian culture and religions of African origin, essential to the city’s identity, history, and everyday life.
