Elevador Lacerda
Salvador
An Art Deco public elevator connecting Salvador's Lower City to its Upper City, carrying passengers 72 meters up in under 30 seconds since 1873 — one of the first urban elevators in the world and still a defining symbol of Salvador's split-level geography.
2
Igreja e Convento de São Francisco
Salvador
A Baroque church and convent in Pelourinho famous for its gold-leafed interior and intricate Portuguese azulejo tiles, widely considered one of the most richly decorated religious buildings in Brazil.
3
Mercado Modelo
Salvador
A historic market in Salvador's Lower City housed in a 19th-century building that once served as a customs house, now filled with stalls selling Bahian crafts, art, and local food — and a site whose earlier history as a place tied to the slave trade is part of its real story.
4
Farol da Barra (Barra Lighthouse)
Salvador
A lighthouse the Brazilian Navy describes as the oldest in the Americas, standing on a point overlooking Todos os Santos Bay since the late 17th century, now home to the Museu Náutico da Bahia and some of Salvador's best sunset views.
5
Praia do Forte
Salvador
A former fishing village turned beach resort town on Bahia's Coconut Coast, known for its laid-back village streets, white-sand beach, and the Tamar Project's work protecting endangered sea turtles.
Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish — a few basic phrases go a long way, though many guides and hotel staff in tourist areas speak English.
Salvador's summer (December–March) is hot, humid, and busiest, especially around Carnival (February or March). Winter (June–August) is milder and less crowded.
Comfortable, closed-toe shoes make a real difference on Pelourinho's steep, uneven cobblestone streets.
Cards are widely accepted, but it's worth carrying some Brazilian reais in cash for markets, street food, and smaller vendors.
Like any major city, use common sense — keep valuables out of sight, and stick to well-traveled areas or go with a local guide, especially after dark.
Candomblé terreiros are active places of worship, not tourist performances — tours that visit one, like Voyzo's, approach it with real respect.
Salvador, the capital of Bahia, was Brazil's first capital and remains one of the country's most historically and culturally significant cities. Founded by the Portuguese in 1549, it was the main port of entry for enslaved Africans brought to Brazil during the colonial period, a history that shaped Salvador into what's often called the most African city outside Africa — visible today in its music, food, religion, and the UNESCO-listed streets of Pelourinho.
The city is split across two levels by a steep escarpment, connected by the Art Deco Elevador Lacerda — the commercial Lower City along Todos os Santos Bay, and the historic Upper City, home to Pelourinho's colonial churches and colorful streets. Voyzo's private tours move between both, pairing landmark sights with the real cultural context, food, and music that make Salvador distinct from the rest of Brazil.
