African Influence in Market Religion and Community
Discover Rio Vermelho's bohemian vibe, explore Bahia's Afro-Brazilian roots, vibrant markets, and favelas. Immerse yourself in art, taste local flavors, and dive into Candomblé culture.
Experience Details
This incredible experience starts walking the streets of Rio Vermelho , Salvador's bohemian neighborhood, where the tradicional Festa de Iemanja takes place every year. Here, we will visit the fishermans colony and the Casa de Iemanja, to learn about the afro brazilian traditions, which so well reflects bahia's religious syncretism.
Time to move on to the Market, with its vibrants colors and intense smells. We will walk the alleys and taste the cachacas (the spicy, sweet and fruity liquor distilled from fermented sugar cane). Lot's of leaves used in the cambomblé to do the traditional cleanning of energies. Great chance to lear about palm oil, coconut milk, yuca flour and all kind of peppers for local cuisine.
Next stop, a real community /favela to enjoy some popular street art. This place is famous for graffiti and social projects. We will end here enjoying a typical afrobaian lunch/snacks (not included) by the seaside, spectacular view and breeze from the bay!
