            Today we leave this island paradise to head on to our next incredible destination.

Our guide will be waiting at the airport to take us to the hotel in this colourful, colonial town.

              After breakfast, we will enjoy a historical & panoramic city tour of this Portuguese colonial outpost with its remarkable architecture and Afro- Brazilian vibe. This home of the Capoeira and famous carnival city has so many sights to see and all within a stone’s throw from the spectacular coastline and pristine beaches.
