Rita Barreto
Home of cultural diversity, Bahia presents its range of tours and trips through Brazil’s history. From secular churches to the typical handcraft of small cities, the diversified faith of its people to the myths and rites of the local folklore, the state opens itself in a true mosaic of attractions for those who wish to unveil Bahia in all its grace and poetry.
Land of orixás, patuás (amulets) and babalorixás (Candomblé’s spiritual leaders); land of the cult of all saints, Bahia is also the land of all myths and rites. The different folkloric expressions exhibit the richness of the popular imaginary. Samba circles, Puxadas de Mastro, Capoeira, Terno de Reis, Bumba-meu-boi, Afoxé and many others add color, energy and display the unshakable faith of Bahia’s people all over Salvador and the countryside. A mosaic of festivals and celebrations of beliefs of African, indigenous and Portuguese origins, with the singular touch of Bahia.
