Next, we drive to the historic district of Pelourinho, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We’ll take the famous Elevador Lacerda up to the upper city, where you’ll admire the impressive churches and squares. In this historic setting, Salvador’s past becomes alive. We’ll take our time to soak in the atmosphere and surely snap a few photos.
