Music in Salvador – Bahia

by Rodrigo

If you have plans to visit Salvador – in the state of Bahia – with a little luck you can watch one of the presentations of Olodum. The band was founded in 1979 and has been playing all over the world. Michael Jackson, Paul Simon, and many brazilian singers have had the pleasure of playing with Olodum. Adventures in Brazil offers tours to Salvador, click here and learn more about this amazing place.

Morro de São Paulo – True Paradise

by Rodrigo

 

It doesn’t take long to fall in love with Morro de São Paulo, an amazing island off the coast of Bahia. Kind people, delicious food, and “picture perfect” weather everyday, make the amazing experience of “Morro”. There are 4 main beaches, named first, second, third and fourth beach. Yes, very simple! You can enjoy the view while drinking a “batida” (ok, we will talk about batidas later!) made from fresh “cocoa” plant – have you eat chocolate before? The “cocoa” plant is where delicious chocolate comes from! The food is incredible – an attraction all by itself. Fresh farmed oysters, shrimp, lobster, and every fruit you can imagine.

Check out this amazing video of Morro de São Paulo, created by my friend Tarcisio Júnior:
