Discover Salvador through a deeper, more conscious, and meaningful perspective.

Throughout the route, we explore spaces of memory, cultural heritage, and symbols of the African diaspora, integrating material and immaterial heritage into a rich, educational, and emotional experience. It is an opportunity to experience Salvador from its roots, understanding its historical layers and the strength of its Afro-Brazilian heritage.
