Description
Bahia considers itself an actual African territory: 80% of the state's population is of African descent, while this number reaches 54% of the entire population in Brazil. No place, issue or custom in Bahia does not present the marks and rhythms of what we call negritude. In this 4-hour experience, the guide invites you to dive into this fascinating African history to learn a little bit more about the real soul of the city.

Feel the Magic of Bahia
- We will start at the Dique de Tororó (lake), where we can appreciate the amazing sculptures of the orixás (African deities) by the Bahian artist Tati Moreno, representing the strong faith of the Baianos.
- From here, we will go to pay our respects to Iemanja, visit her chapel and talk to the fisherman.
- We will continue driving into a community where we will have the privilege of being hosted in a terreiro de Candomblé, a place of worship for this widely practised religion of African origin that has lots of followers in Bahia. We will learn about their religious rituals, festivities, music and clothing. We will also taste some of the typical Afro-Bahian food that Candomble practitioners offer to the Orixás (African deities).
