Fancying a relaxing afternoon you should try our mini-Ribeira-trip, to visit Bonfim church, the Monte Serrat fortress and finish off with a relaxing beach-beer-sunset.
If you want to get out of the busy city center, get a relaxing afternoon, with a bit of culture and beaching/swimming you should definitly go for this Ribeira-trip.
In order to let you enjoy the relaxing aspect of this afternoon-tour we only do this trip during weekdays (weekends tend to be way to busy ;-)
We could even collect you (by car) just before noon, so you could experience a delicious sea-food moqueca. Which is a typical stew from Bahia, a culinary specialty that nobody can resist.
Walking around in Ribeira you will discover the last fortress in the antique line of defense of Salvador : Forte Monte Serrat at Humaita, of the much coveted fortresses in the city.
