Salvador's Absolute Essentials

Salvador’s heritage unfolds through its coastal landmarks and historical sites. The 17th-century Barra Lighthouse and Santo Antonio da Barra Fort guard the entrance to the Bay of All Saints, the largest bay in Brazil. Religious history is preserved at the Sister Dulce Memorial and the Hill of Christ statue. Natural highlights include the dark-water Abaeté Lagoon and the reef-protected waters of Praia da Barra, while Ponta do Humaitá provides panoramic views over the Itapagipe Peninsula.
