Bahia Essentials

Bahia showcases Brazil's colonial history and Afro-Brazilian culture. Salvador’s Pelourinho district features UNESCO-listed Portuguese architecture and the gold-laden São Francisco Church. The city is connected by the Art Deco Elevador Lacerda, linking the historic upper town with the Mercado Modelo. Beyond the capital, the state offers the sea turtle conservation center of Projeto Tamar in Praia do Forte, the crystalline waters of Poço Encantado in Chapada Diamantina, and the secluded, reef-protected shores of Praia do Espelho.
