This was not my first trip to Salvador, but it certainly was the most enriching one! Our tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable and fun at the same time! No boring lectures looking at pictures about Bahia, we walked the streets of the upper and lower city for a hands on experience. Even took a drum lesson!
We looked out at the Atlantic from the very lookout towers that guarded the coasts where enslaved Africans arrived in droves. It was an emotionally powerful moment…
We attended religious services of the various traditions and learned to identify the influence of African religion on the unique form of Catholicism that exists today. I could go on and on.
The food, the music, the beaches, the people!! I can't wait to return and I will definitely sign up with Olafemi Tours, an amazing company indeed.
