Happy hump day. I hope you have a marvelous day wherever you are!⁣ ⁣ #humpday🐫 #wednesday #salvadorbahia #ondina #ssalovers

Nothing but beach vibes for this Monday. 🏖⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil

Once you drink the fresh coconut water, go back and ask them to cut it open.⁣ ⁣ They will cut it in half or thirds, as well as make a "spoon" for you. 🥄⁣ ⁣ Tear the spoon off, and use it to scrape out the coconut flesh. A delightful treat.⁣ ⁣ Have you tried this?⁣ ⁣ #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil #aguadecoco

Being married to a musician, I may be a bit biased, but I think instruments make wonderful souvenirs of a trip. 🪘⁣ ⁣ The colorful instruments at the front are xequeres, beaded gourds of African origin. They are commonly-played in the maracatu-style music of the northeast, make an appearance in some Candomblê rhythms, and are general percussion in a variety of styles.⁣ ⁣ The taller instruments in the back are caxixi's, which are made of a woven straw and have seeds inside. They are a staple of capoeira, with a smaller version of the instrument played right alongside the berimbau. They are also commonly used for effect in a variety of musical styles.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #artisanal #instrument #handmadeinstrument #percussion #afrobrazilian #playmusic #artisanal #instrument #xequere

A little from last night in Barra.⁣ ⁣ #faroldabarra #ssa #ssalovers #salvadorbahia #summerinwinter

Betcha never thought that this type of hiking existed in the heart of Bahia, did you?⁣ ⁣ This photo comes from a day hike we did out of Lençois, within Chapada Diamantina National Park -- about 4 hours west of Salvador.⁣ ⁣ From mountain biking to hiking to splunking (yes, caves) -- there is tons of natural adventure sports to enjoy in Bahia. ⁣ ⁣ Life beyond the beach! 🏝⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #igbahia #ig_brazil #visitbrazil #travelbrazil #braziltravel #travelsouthamerica #traveldestinations #doyourtravel #amazingplacestovisit #touristmode #slowtravel #touristythings #authentictravel #worldtravels #touristing #vacationgoals #chapadadiamantina

Fun fact: All Braziilan beaches are public beaches.⁣ ⁣ This one just happens to be in Imbassaí, about an hour up the coast from the heart of Salvador.⁣ ⁣ Far enough away that you can forget the city exists. Close enough you can go for the weekend. Filled with unique pousadas (like US B&Bs) so there is ample places to stay.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #imbassaibeach #bahiabrasil #bahiabrazil #beachlovers #beachtime #beachlover #beachfun #beachy #coastal #discovernewplaces #brazilgram_

The vibrant colors of Santo Antônio never disappoint.⁣ ⁣ A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Santo Antônio and Pelourinho neighborhoods of Salvador are filled with colorful houses and ornate detail. ⁣ ⁣ An ever-present reminder of the Portuguese colonization -- yet I can't image Salvador without it.⁣ ⁣ #salvadorbahia #igbahia #ig_brazil #bahiabrazil #bahiabrasil #ssalovers #salvadormeuamor #unescoworldheritage #worldheritage

About this site

This is the site I wish I would have had when I first started visiting Salvador. As a friend of mine says, “this is your love letter to Salvador.” It’s true.

This is an amazing place, filled with completely unique culture and warm, friendly people. But, it’s also somewhat inaccessible for non-Portuguese speakers. That’s where I come in.

I still remember what it was like to be new here, and am here to here to help you make the most of your time in Salvador. Learn about my Salvador Concierge service.

Seja bem-vindo/a a Salvador!
