Located in Northeastern Brazil, on the banks of All Saints Bay, Salvador was founded in 1549 to be the economic capital of Portuguese America.

Due to its privileged location, Salvador became the main commercial port of the Americas for two centuries. Pau-Brasil, sugar cane, tobacco, cocoa and coffee became the basis of the colonial economy, thus shaping the unique multicultural matrix of our people, the result of the fusion of Indigenous, Europeans and Africans.

Salvador is today one of the top destinations for those looking for cultural, gastronomic, musical, religious and historical experiences, while also seeking to enjoy magnificent natural sights, enchanting beaches and much more.
