Belem

Day 2

Often referred to as the ‘Eastern gateway to the Amazon’, Belém is a fascinating city in the Brazilian state of Pará. Founded in 1616, it offers an enchanting blend of history and culture. Discover its neoclassical architecture or visit the Ver-o-Peso Market. Here, the air is thick with the scent of Amazonian fruits, herbs and spices, while stalls sell local ceramics and traditional remedies, some of which are believed to possess mystical properties.

Salvador de Bahia

Salvador de Bahia, where the echoes of samba rhythms and colonial footprints lead you through cobblestone streets, offers a gateway to Brazil's soulful depths. With a climate that blesses it with sunny days and balmy nights almost year-round, Salvador invites you to immerse in a setting that's decidedly more authentic and untouched by the typical tourist overlays. Cruise lines often highlight Salvador as a living exhibit of Brazil itself, celebrating its vibrant Afro-Brazilian traditions and colonial architecture. A unique draw is the Elevador Lacerda, a historic art deco elevator that connects the city's upper and lower towns, providing stunning views of the bay.
