Diga Brazil would like to offer you the opportunity to experience Brazilian culture first hand.

 

    • Art Gallery Tour: Take a trip through the creativity of Brazilian artist through some of the most popular galleries in the city of Salvador, Bahia Brazil.
    • Atlantic Rainforest Walking Tour: The Camurugipe Reserve is a sanctuary for the most important tracts of first-growth Atlantic rainforest on Bahia’s north shore. Centuries-old trees coexist with sloths, peccaries and parrots. After journeying through a stretch of rainforest, we will hike along trails through the forest to the crystal-clear waters of the Açu River. On the way you will be enchanted by the size of the trees and their giant vines, the bromeliads and fern palms that grow everywhere. At the river the chance to take a refreshing dip cannot be missed. With luck, we may even see a sloth climbing through the tree canopy
    • Bale Folclorico da Bahia: This exuberant show should most definitely not be missed by anybody coming to Bahia! It is an elegant, breathtakingly athletic exhibition of Afro-Bahian beauty and prowess, and in the small theater the audience almost melds into the space through which the dancers fly.
    • Capoeira Class: This distinctly Afro-Brazilian art form blends the discipline of martial arts with fluidity and beauty of dance. Learn the history, music and basic movements of this dynamic keystone of Bahian culture. This is open to all ages and athletic abilities.

    • Manicure and pedicure: Flip-flops and sandals are a must in the summer heat of Salvador. Take advantage of manicure and pedicures so your toes and fingers look and feel as good as you do!
    • Massage: Nothing says vacation like “massage”. After days of sun and nights of samba, our bodies will be pushed to their limits. Sign up for massages now and count the days until that relaxing hour.
    • Portuguese class: Yes you have a bilingual host, but hopefully you will find that you will want to taste Brazil on your own. A few key phases from a book are cool, but if no one can understand your pronunciation or those words have different meanings from region to region, you might have real funny stories to tell later on. During your first couple of days in Brazil we will be offering classes featuring basic phrases and questions. The instructor can also help you pronounce those phrases in the bookyou bought last week. You can also email phrases that you would like translated and the instructor will have those ready for you.

    • Samba Lessons: Quiz: What are the three most important things in Brazil? Carnaval, soccer, and SAMBA! We are going to bring you one of Salvador’s best samba instructors. She will teach you the basic steps that men and women perform. After class you may not be a professional but at lest you wont have to rely on the “gringo shake”.
