Salvador Panoramic City Tour

The lower city tour takes us to the quiet waters of the Itapagipe Peninsula where the first holiday residences were built. Now, a peaceful family district, life moves at a slower pace than the bustling upper city. Fishermen fish from dug out canoes, locals collect shellfish at low tide, schooners are at anchor, all protected by the famous Bonfim church, one of the most important churches of pilgrimage in Brazil. We continue to Monserrat district with its panoramic view of the city, a thriving market for local artifacts. Optional stop at mercado modelo.

After lunch more time to relax on the beach or an optional visit to the colonial town of Itaparica before returning to the boat for return crossing to Salvador.
