Day 1: Arrival in Salvador & All Saints Bay Welcome Cocktail
Your group arrives at Salvador (SSA) international airport, met directly at the terminal by our private B2B operations team. Private executive coaches handle all luggage and transfers to your historic landmark hotel in the city center (Fera Palace or Fasano Salvador). After check-in, gather the entire group on the hotel’s panoramic rooftop deck for a welcome cocktail reception overlooking All Saints Bay, featuring live Bossa Nova and Bahian drumming as the sun sets over the harbor.
Day 2: Pelourinho Historical Cohorts & Afro-Brazilian Heritage
Avoid crowding the streets by splitting your group into small, guided walking cohorts. Explore the colorful, cobbled slopes of the historic Pelourinho district, visiting gold-leafed baroque churches and cultural centers. Your expert guides will share the rich narrative of the African diaspora in Bahia and its enduring influence on Brazilian culture. In the evening, enjoy a private group dinner inside a historic colonial mansion, accompanied by an exclusive, private Afro-Brazilian cultural performance.
Day 3: Private São Joaquim Market Tour & Moqueca Culinary Workshop
Participate in an interactive, hands-on culinary track. Guests visit the vibrant, local São Joaquim market in small groups with private chefs to select fresh ingredients, herbs, and dende palm oil. Return to a private kitchen venue where your team learns to prepare traditional Bahian Moqueca (seafood stew) in clay pots, followed by a celebratory group lunch tasting your creations.
Day 4: Executive Strategy Sessions & Coastal Breakout Departures
Reserve the morning for corporate presentations or recognition awards in the hotel’s elegant meeting facilities.
