Learn and watch the fair, colorful life and history of the city.

The city of Salvador safeguards in its daily life, African traditions that have been preserved in maroon community havens through centuries.

Next we visit the old port of arrival of Africans and a slave market, followed by a visit to the first candomble terreiro of yoruba origin founded in the new world, the matriarchy grounded terreiro ile iya axe nasso oka.

In conclusion, we will visit the queen of the sea house, located by the beach Rio vermelho, at a fishermen community that built an altar in reverence to that african divinity from the sea, the orixá iemanjá. Every year, on February 2nd, the greatest ceremony offered in honor of an African orixa, which gathers up over 400.000 people.
