Ola!!! Come and meet the roots of our AfroHeritage with a local Brazilian "blasian" (black/asian) guide. This tour is for you if you want to visit the old town with time and local experience. In this tour we will NOT talk about the amazing Portuguese Colonial constructions but we will understand deeply the city that has a port with 1. 2 million enslaved africans arriving in our port and that kept lots of our traditions, mixed with the First Nations and European in Salvador, Bahia. Pelourinho is also a World Human Heritage recognized by UNESCO and the tour will be a great opportunity for photos and I can include a workshop of Percussion, Capoeira or Dance class in our tour. I highly recommend to add these activities and get more involved with our black community. We will have time to talk to local business owners, visit the museums and spend a lovely time in the Old Town. Slow Travelling Tour Carnaval Museum this tour can NOT be booked on Monday.
This is a basic itinerary for the Black History Walking Tour: I will meet you and we will walk towards Zumbi dos Palmares Sculptor - history of Quilombos and History Black November in Brazil Visit the Carnaval Museum - Salvador has one of the most powerful Afro Brazilian Carnaval (around 30 minutes) If you book the tour during the week, we will visit the Oldest Black Association in Brazil (20/30 minutes visit) - Walking in the streets we might have a chance to listen to live music and talk about Samba Reggae - the percussion that changed our carnival and history of the Old Town. Stop at Largo do Pelourinho and Maciel de Baixo Street (gentrification of Pelourinho in the 1990's) Visit the Black Church (Igreja Rosario dos Pretos) or Benin House (confirm opening hours before booking the tours) End the tour with a SURPRISE local food stop (food/drink tasting included in the tour) During the tour we will support Local Black Owners !
