Hope you get the chance to see it soon! I just went all Pinterest crazy on this post. It sure is now!
The history, unique culture and gorgeous views are enough motivation for me to visit! Heather recently posted… Riga Turns Celebrating at the Riga City Festival. My family will be moving to Salvador in July. We are teaching at a school there for two years.
Your article was informative and I am even more excited for our move.
We will definitely have to plan an anniversary trip to Morro de Sao Paulo. Do you think a day trip to Morro de Sao Paulo would be worth the effort? Thanks for your advice! We thought even going for only one night was definitely rushed. There are some great beaches though outside of Salvador that might make a good alternative!
Enjoy your time there — the culture in Salvador is fantastic: Wow, I really need to visit Brazil! Your pictures of Pelourinho are so pretty, the buildings are super well preserved, which is sometimes not the case in Brazil. I hope to go to Salvador and Bahia in general for the spicy food soon!

Salvador enjoys one of the highest populations in Brazil and Latin America as a whole, giving it a vibrant, bustling appeal.
These local inhabitants are culturally invested in their home, providing visitors with cuisine, music, art and architecture that truly reflect the beauty of Brazil. Much of this culture has been influenced by the ancient introduction of African slaves, so visitors can expect a more Afro-Brazilian combination.
However, because the Portuguese were the original colonisers, much of the art and architecture conveys Portuguese ideals, styles and influences. While this port and bay are beautiful, they also have a very important role in the exporting of goods. This, in turn, influences the local economy enormously.
The climate in Salvador is typically tropical, with humid, wet conditions all year round. The landscape varies from flat plains to low mountains, and everything in-between. The weather conditions are fairly standard throughout Salvador, but temperatures do drop as altitude increases.
Regardless, few soteropolitanos seem to bother with this reputation, even the bad part of it, and some even make fun of their own supposed lazyness. Though as this post goes live we will have already said our goodbyes and will be well on our way to the Southern Amazon!
