Private Cachoeira And Rural Brazil Tour

On this 8-hour tour, you'll leave the city behind to explore the farm hinterland on the western side of All Saints´ Bay. This is the land of sugar cane plantations, peaceful colonial towns and busy country markets; a day full of insight into the lifestyle of rural Brazil. Drive north out of the city and head westwards, stopping in the country market town of Santo Amaro. You'll continue your drive westwards through the rolling hills to Cachoeira, the jewel of the Bahian hinterland nestled deep in the valley of the Paraguaçu River. After lunch you'll take a walking tour of the town, with opportunities to browse in some local wood carvers' stores. Like Salvador, Candomblé plays an integral part in the life of the town, epitomized by the Sisterhood of the Boa Morte, a sorority which traces its origins back to the time of slavery. Cross to the western bank of the slow moving river and visit the Danemann Cultural Center where world class cigars are expertly rolled.
