Salvador & the Islands of Bahia
9 Days / 8 Nights or as many as you wish
This 9-day tour of Salvador, Morro de Sao Paulo and Boipeba offers the best of lazy island living in Bahia, perhaps the state that most people associate with a holiday in Brazil - the vibrant music and Afro-Brazilian culture of Salvador, the palm trees, reef and tropical waters of Morro de Sao Paulo on the island of Tinhare, and the neighbouring island of Boipeba.
Beginning in Salvador, the capital of Afro-Brazilian culture and erstwhile capital of Brazil, you learn the history of the colonial and slavery times amongst the streets and squares of Pelourinho, the historic part of town. The story of the city and its people lies in its baroque churches, colourful art and live musical rhythms, and in the candomble religious ceremonies and demonstrations of capoeira, the Brazilian martial art developed as self-defence by slaves. You can experience a little of all this during any visit to Salvador.
From the city you travel across the Atlantic Ocean to Morro de Sao Paulo, the tiny town on the northern tip of the island of Tinhare. The old fort ruins welcome you to the island, while wheelbarrows take your luggage to your hotel, with nothing but sand roads and few vehicles on them. Your days in Morro de Sao Paulo can be spent relaxing, with plenty of beach and ocean-based activities in case you want to expend a little energy. Surfing, snorkelling and scuba-diving, horse-riding on miles of empty sands, and boat trips around the island are all easy to arrange. The evenings in Morro de Sao Paulo are just as laidback, with a range of fruits to fill your cocktails at the bars on the beach.
You finish with some days on the paradise beaches of Boipeba, the island just to the south of Tinhare. If anything, it is even more relaxed, with ocean views from hillside hammocks and the same combination of tropical waters washing the beautiful beaches.
Deciding what to do during the daytime and choosing your fresh seafood for dinner are about the only things that you have to worry about. The most difficult part of this tour of Salvador, Morro de Sao Paulo and Boipeba may well be leaving this Brazilian paradise behind.
