HAPPY 2024 and Welcome to Bahia, land of happiness ("terra da felicidade") - Travellers from USA, Canada and Australia please check the updates about Visas to visit Brazil from April 2024 and on! I am a "Soteropolitana" (born in Salvador, Bahia), Blasian (Brazilian Black Asian) and tour guide. I truly love my job: creating new possibilities to visit my hometown and State of Bahia (Cachoeira, Morro de São Paulo, Boipeba, Praia do Forte, etc). In 2020, with the virtual tours, I have learned new way of working - now it is possible to visit Brazil, without leaving your house. I have done tours for students, families, group of friends and seniors from township and I am really grateful. I love my virtual tours, specially the Live Streamed Tours from the Old Town and Musical Experience in Black Rome - check it!!! My experience travelling in Brazil and Abroad, Literature, Music and Gastronomy (coordinator of "comida di buteco" in Salvador - food festival) inspire me a lot to do different tours around Salvador/Bahia. Salvador is the afro-city in Brazil and a place to come if you want to feel Brazilian atmosphere and culture! In my tours we will always support small local business and with a balance to the top attractions in town. If you want, I can also send you my own "guide book" of Salvador, with options of things to do and see in Salvador. TRY TO BOOK IN ADVANCE, SO I CAN HELP YOU PLANNING YOUR VACATION IN BAHIA. PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE FOR MORE INFO EVEN IF THE CALENDAR SHOWS THAT I AM NOT AVAILABLE. SOMETIMES I MIGHT HAVE HALF DAY FREE AND ABLE TO DO TOURS DURING THE DAY OR BY NIGHTS. Join the tours and see Salvador with a soteropolitano - a real local from Bahia! Highly suggest to try my exclusive by night, and see our nightlife as a "Sotero" and the "Afro Heritage Tou"r - Salvador is the most African city in Brazil! Cheers, Sayuri "Minha vida é andar por este país Pra ver se um dia descanso feliz Guardando as recordações Das terras onde passei Andando pelos sertões E dos amigos que lá deixei. . " (A Vida do Viajante, Luiz Gonzaga) Former Lawyer (Universidade Mackenzie - Sao Paulo), Tour Guide (National and South America - SENAC Bahia 2011/2014) and Graduated Literature/English at Universidade Federal da Bahia (2018) I have got my licence of Embratur/Ministerio Turismo.

Country peaceful views and fascinate towns of Cachoeira, Sao Felix and Santo Amaro - Afro Experience in Bahia
Overview of your Salvador tour
Reconcavo Baiano is a hidden gem, if you want to get to know more about Brazilian Afro Heritage. Not many tour guides offer a day trip in Cachoeira, that I consider my second home in Bahia!! I highly recommend a day out of Salvador and Reconcavo Baiano is the perfect scape: full of history, culture, music (samba de roda), gastronomy and axe. If you plan to visit in August - you can book to visit the city during the Festival of Sisterhood of Good Death (Irmandade da Boa Morte) - customize your experience. Besides Cachoeira, we will visit Santo Amaro da Purificação and an authentic local market + Sao Felix As a suggestion, check an extra option: it is possible to plan an extra day in town - we can plan to sleep one day in Cachoeira and also visit a Quilombo (Maroon communities) or do a workshop of Samba de Roda (expect extra costs) Check the pictures with some of the great views and culture of Reconcavo Baiano
