For a great day trip from Salvador, experience the fascinating city of Cachoeira. Soak in the city's unique history and colorful, mostly preserved colonial architecture. This tour also includes a visit to the town's churches - Igreja Matriz and the Ordem Terceira do Carmo.
During the Brazilian Empire, Cachoeira was Bahia's wealthiest and most populous town. While having been developed over time, its original character still remains in the houses, churches and historical buildings. Protected by the National Institute for Historical and Artistic Heritage since 1971, Cachoeira remains one of the unique cities to display important Baroque architectural heritage in Bahia. After crossing the colonial bridge (Ponte Dom Pedro II) over the River Paraguaçu, you'll visit São Félix. Included is a visit to a traditional cigar factory, founded in 1873.
