What better way to spend your vacation than taking
9 days and 8 nights in Brazil's best world-class
cities: Rio and Salvador. Bustling Rio is famous for
incomparable surroundings - forest, mountains,
beaches and the picturesque bay. You'll return home
demanding to go back to Brazil! Salvador was once
Brazil's most important city ... and it is regaining
its importance. Gold-filled colonial churches and
stately mansions speak of centuries of history, and
rhythms that evolved on plantations fill the streets
today. Superb beaches with soft, white sand and
clear, warm waters are also nearby. You'll have the
time of your life experiencing both cities.

Rio de Janeiro - Salvador, Bahia - City Tour
This morning we will board our early morning flight
to Salvador, Bahia. We will enjoy a tour of the city
and the Pelourinho district. Founded in 1549,
Salvador was the capital city of Brazil for over 200
years. Salvador is Brazil's third largest city, and
was the country's busiest port until 1815. Although
a large and modern city, Salvador's colorful,
well-preserved colonial buildings are a sight to
behold. The African influence in the food, music and
culture is very apparent here. Salvador pulses with
an African-tinged Samba beat; the percussion-heavy
rhythms evolved from the music of the African
slaves. Our hotel, the Bahia Othon Palace, is a
fabulous hotel located on Ondina Beach in Salvador.
In the evening, we can go out in Pelourinho, a
historical neighborhood with many local bars and
nightspots. This is the place where Olodum (a
musical group with hundreds of drummers and dancers)
plays every night. Be sure to enjoy some typical
Bahian food while you're here! Overnight at the
Bahia Othon Palace in Salvador, Bahia.
