Buffet breakfast at hotel followed by a private Historical city tour of Salvador.

Walk along the Historic Center and visit San Francisco Church and Terreiro de Jesus. Look at the magnificent colonial architecture of Pelourinho. Don't miss this unforgettable opportunity to visit and photograph one of the most historical cultural centers of Brazil. Salvador was the first capital of Brazil and remained so for over 200 years.
 
 
 
The city has the most important African influence anywhere in the world, outside the African continent. Your main destination will be the Pelourinho District, the most important historical center of colonial architecture in Latin America.
You will visit the last slave market in Brazil; the First African Church in the new world, built in 1704; art galleries, souvenirs shops and various other important historical landmarks. This tour gives a good prospective of the African influence in the building of Brazil. A stop at the house of well known writer Jorge Amado will be an outmost experience.

 

A house of literature, a workshop for words

 
The House is gorgeous and blue. Outcropped with arched cutouts of windows, is facade dominates the plaza.
 
Standing in the heart of the so-called Historic Center, a UNESCO-listed site, the House commands a fantastic view: sloping centuries-old streets, town-houses with austere facades and gracious eaves; tiled roofs that climb as far as the eye can see, and further on, the waters of the bay where, on the clearest days, the silhouette of a beach slips into view, more divined than seen by dazzled eyes.
 
 
The house where he lived 40 years is full of objects from all parts of the world: a plate painted by Pablo Picasso, paintings from Cándido Portinari and Aldemir Martins, but to name a few.
 
The library, the great collection of ceramic toads and the table where presidents as well as humble bricklayers ate, are exposed to visitors.
 
He was the best-known of modern Brazilian writers, his work having been translated into some 30 languages and popularized in films, notably Dona Flor and her Two Husbands (Dona Flor e Seus Dois Maridos) in 1978. His work dealt largely with the poor urban black and mulatto communities of Bahia.
 
The Jorge Amado House Foundation officially opened in Salvador, Bahia's Largo do Pelourinho in 1987. Since then, it has housed his library and made it available to researchers.
