Highlights
This private tour offers an authentic and insightful journey into Afro-Brazilian culture, going far beyond a standard city tour. Instead of staged or superficial visits, travelers explore meaningful cultural landmarks, sacred spaces, and museums that reveal the origins of Candomblé, Vodun, and African heritage in Salvador.
You will visit a traditional terreiro during daytime hours, respectfully walking through authorized areas while learning about its history, symbolism, and spiritual lineage. The itinerary also includes key institutions such as the Afro-Brazilian Museum, Casa do Benin, the Casa de Iemanjá shrine, the Dique do Tororó with its floating Orixá statues, and the Pierre Verger photography space.
Guided by a knowledgeable expert, this experience provides cultural context, historical depth, and a deeper understanding of the African roots that shaped Bahia’s identity.
Itinerary
Afro Brasileiro Museum
40 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedAt the Afro-Brazilian Museum in Pelourinho, travelers will explore one of Salvador’s most important cultural institutions dedicated to African heritage in Brazil. The museum features a rich collection of artifacts, sculptures, sacred objects, textiles, and historical pieces that highlight the deep influence of African civilizations on Brazilian culture. Visitors will see exhibitions on Candomblé, traditional orixá representations, African art, and the cultural exchange between Brazil and West Africa. The museum offers time to walk through the galleries, observe the iconic wooden panels carved by Carybé, and learn about the history, spirituality, and artistic legacy that shaped Bahia’s identity. This stop provides an essential understanding of Afro-Brazilian roots and the cultural ancestry that defines Salvador.Vodun Zo
50 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedKwe Vodun Zo or Ilê Axé Oxumarê – What Travelers Will See and Do (Summary) During this cultural experience, travelers will visit one traditional Afro-Brazilian temple (terreiro) in Salvador: either Kwe Vodun Zo, a historic Jeje Vodun house in the Liberdade area, or Ilê Axé Oxumarê, one of the oldest and most respected Candomblé temples in Bahia, located in Federação. The visit depends on availability and the religious calendar of each community. Guests will explore authorized outdoor and common areas, learn about the history and spiritual lineage of each house, and understand the cultural importance of sacred spaces, plants, architecture, and traditions preserved by these Afro-Brazilian religions. This is a respectful, daytime, educational visit focused on heritage, symbolism, and identity — not a participation in rituals or ceremonies.Dique de Tororo
