A visit to Pelourinho, the historic center of Salvador, is a must. If you love music, prepare your heart because it will beat to the rhythms of the many percussion bands that echo throughout the city: with concerts, performances by local bands, and even prayers accompanied by drums.Porto SeguroGateway to the region known as the Discovery Coast, Porto Seguro is a history lesson about Brazil. It was there that the Portuguese arrived in 1500. Among houses, streets, and churches, the historic center (Cidade Alta), protected by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (Iphan) in 1973, preserves traces from the beginning of the Brazilian colonial period. There you will find the Discovery Marker, the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, the Church of Our Lady of Penha, the Church of Saint Benedict, and the House of Chamber and Chain.
The Discovery Coast has luxury resorts and charming inns. It is worth taking advantage of the proximity between Porto Seguro and Arraial d’Ajuda to spend a few days in the village of Arraial, which can serve as a base for quick trips to neighboring municipalities, such as Trancoso and Caraíva.
