I wonder if that police officer was making sure that you guys didn't end up in a dangerous part of the town. I love how so many good people are looking out for the two of you. Thank you Brazilians, Your kindness speaks volumes about your people and culture. Sending love and prayers.
We love to show the beauty of our cities, and give the best tips for foods, drinks, sightseeing’s... practice a bit our English and welcome everyone that had the chance to go to Brazil! I’m actually very homesick and enjoying with them all their “discoveries”... can’t wait to go back and see my family and friends.
Acho que ele achou que os gringos estavam perdidos e não sabiam pedir comida então tentou ajudar, pra mim pareceu normal, só foi intimidador pq ele era um policial.
Eu sou de salvador, eles estavam numa area onde o assalto é certo, ainda mais andando com os equipamentos, a policia nao pode fazer nada pq os caras somem nesses becos estreitos, ai o pm colocou eles num lugar seguro.
unfortunately with the pandemic of the covid the pillory is practically empty, this old part of our city is very partying and musical, as the tapes of Senhor do Bonfim you must make the orders LA in front of the Senhor do Bonfim church in the square of the same name
@@luismarques9280 It was Salvador, it desn't means that if a colony is portuguese that they will have their capital in Lisbon, Salvador was the frist capital of Brasil and then was moved to Rio de Janeiro and then we got independence. Fun fact: Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Portugal becuse Napoleon inveded the main land, the royal family moved to Brazil.
@@sergioluizbusarello1202 nope, Brasil had no capital, it was divided in capitanies, and the empire capital was Lisbon. Yes, for a breef period of time Rio was the capital of Portugal, what a fantastic thing
@@luismarques9280 Em 29 de março de 1549 chegam, pela Ponta do Padrão, na Barra, Tomé de Sousa e comitiva, em seis embarcações: três naus, duas caravelas e um bergantim, com ordens de D. João III de fundar uma cidade-fortaleza chamada do São Salvador. Nasce assim a cidade de Salvador: já cidade, já capital, sem nunca ter sido província. Todos os donatários das capitanias hereditárias eram submetidos à autoridade do primeiro governador-geral do Brasil, Tomé de Sousa. No local de desembarque, na Praia do Porto da Barra, está o "Marco da Fundação da Cidade", uma coluna de 6 metros de altura feita em pedra de lioz. O monumento foi posto pela comunidade portuguesa na Bahia em 1952, restaurado em 2013
Salvador is a very important city for our history (especially brazilian black history) so it's good if you can get a guide or a local to actually explain the importance of the places and culture. Also you don't eat dipping the food in the farofa lol you put it on your plate with the rest of the food. and feijoada is not traditional to Bahia, you can get it anywhere in Brasil.
Feijoada is tradicional in Bahia. I have no idea where did you get this information. You guys must taste Acarajé. It's amazing and way better than any hamburger. It's former tradicional from Bahia.
@@marioluigi2995 eu não falei a frase completa. feijoada não é tradicional *somente* a Bahia. Dá pra comer feijoada em qualquer lugar do Brasil (e sim, dependendo do lugar existem diferenças na receita). Assim como a Moqueca também dá pra comer na maior parte dos estados/cidades praianos. Também com diferenças, já que a Moqueca Paraense é feita com ingredientes regionais.
While in Bahia go to Morro de Sao Paulo, it’s a paradisiac island and go to Porto Seguro the city in Brazil where the Portuguese arrived for the first time it’s the place where this country started
Lol Why everyone who goes to Salvador only visits one area? The city is huge. When I come to Salvador, I wll be the first one to go to other parts of the city haha
Pelourinho is the most turist part, but you also have to visit farol da Barra, Ribeira, Itapuã. And instead of praia do forte go to itacimirim,around 5km before praia do forte, its less turist but more beautiful, try to look the sea board during low tide it has the most beautiful natural pool you will every see
salvador is just my favourite place in the world i’m happy you can experience it. axé just so you know Pelourinho is the upper city it was chosen bc of its strategic location ( being able to see incoming ships), the public services were and continue to be concentrated there. the lower city had a lot less initial development and the effects are still felt today, the lower city is where the Suburbana is which is where I lived in Salvador. a cidade baixa é perfeita 😍
The church and convent of São Francisco is the richest barroque church of Brasil ( in the historic part of Salvador). It's worth the visit. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_and_Convent_of_S%C3%A3o_Francisco,_Salvador
I'm loving your videos here in Brazil, you can already post two during the day hahaha! Come to Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, beautiful cities in the Northeast of the country ❤️🇧🇷
Poderiam ir em Morro de São Paulo e se possível praia do Forte. Se tivessem mais um tempo, na Chapada Diamantina. Ainda na Bahia, o litoral sul seria uma ótima opção. Trancoso e Arraial D'Ajuda e Itacaré.
Que os baianos me informem... É possível comer Feijoada junto com moqueca de camarão, ou essa mistura explosiva pode mandar a pessoa para outro mundo ? Acho que as baianas até pouparam eles. Só deram a moqueca.
17:25 - Portuguese and Spanish languages are very similar. We brazilian can understand 50% to 90% percent of spanish during some talking (It depends on the talking subject), but it's only possible when a NATIVE spanish speaker is involved, when it comes to be a NON NATIVE speaker it get really hard to understand.
The oil palm culture is probably the one with the greatest growth potential in the world among cultures of economic significance. Brazil has the greatest global potential for the production of palm oil, due to the nearly 75 million hectares of land suitable for oil palm, with emphasis on the states of Pará, Bahia and Amapá, the main palm oil producers in the country. Popularly known as guinea palm, demdem (Angola), dende palm and dendê coconut palm, palm was brought to Brazil by slaves and adapted well to the humid tropical climate of the North and Northeast regions It is considered the most productive oilseed that exists, surpassing the production of sunflower, castor and soy. After all, one hectare with oil palm yields 5 tons of oil per year, while soybean, only 500 kilos and castor oil, 700 kilos of oil per year. The promising oil palm culture in Brazil has opened doors for the use of its oil to obtain biodiesel, which can replace or be mixed with diesel oil derived from petroleum.
So correct me if I’m wrong... I thought the production of palm oil is considered to be a root cause of deforestation and destruction of the rain forests?
it has been decades since there has been a smuggling of hardwoods, wild animals and precious stones. and a government colluding with this situation since 1950. But don't Tell the true we live a lie.
Hello, how are you? You are in Salvador. You are close to two paradises: 1- Morro de São Paulo 2- Trancoso. You need to know these two paradises that have beautiful beaches with crystal clear and warm water.
Q&A: Your videos are showing Brasil as a very colorful place. At this point in your journey, what is the most colorful thing or place that you have experienced?
Ai na Bahia tem uns lugares lindos, cito: ITACARÉ. MORRO DE SÃO PAULO. PORTO SEGURO. E TRANCOSO. Em Salvador no litoral Norte tem a PRAIA DO FORTE. IMBASAHI E GUARAJUBA. Sou de São Paulo, Abraços. Curtem bastante.
I would recommend you to find a local guide for a better cultural immersion. Maybe try some religious experience. In Bahia catholic religion mix with black ancestry traditions like in no other place! That’s why the religious traditions in Bahia are an immaterial heritage of Brazil! Maybe a local guide could help you with that!
Hi, guys! I'd suggest the following places: (1) In the state of Maranhão: Lençóis Maranhenses. (2) in the state of Ceará: Jericoacoara. (3) In the North: Manaus and Belém. (4) In the South: Florianópolis, Curitiba, and Gramado. (5) In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (midwest): Bonito.
No Maranhão a Chapada das Mesas (Carolina, Riachão) também é excelente pra turismo de natureza. Os Lençóis Maranhenses nesta época podem estar parcialmente secos, a temporada de chuvas está começando agora por aqui.
Yes ! That’s awesome places to visit I quite recommend visiting ceara and even Rio Grande do Norte (natal) to see the dunes ! It will be a great experience to you ! Keep pushing guys !
I hope you don't go to what they call the slums in the big cities...I'm tired of seeing that....what you are showing is much more interesting, nice, beautiful, relaxing ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Com muito orgulho, um pedaço da linda e contagiante África no Brasil!!! Pena vocês não poderem por causa da pandemia assistir uma apresentação do Grupo Oludum.Lindíssimo!De arrepiar!!!!
Recently discovered your channel - loving it. I’m from South Africa and Brazil (Rio) has become my “home away from home” Salvador is arguably my 2nd favourite city in Brazil and it’s a huge pity that you not able to experience it pre covid-19. As I’m sure you heard, it’s as lively as what Rio is normally at its peak. Not sure what you have all planned but if you’re able to, here are a few places worth checking out...Porto da Barra (popular beach), islands tours of Ilha dos Frades and Ilha de Itaparica, Praia de Guarajuba (try the mocheca again, this time on the beach) and the awesome village Praia de Forte. Also the little city tour is great. Enjoy meu amigos 👍🏻😉
O Estado tem a segunda maior baía marítima do planeta .Pra conhecer isso tudo teriam q se hospedar uns seis meses pois é muita localidade aproximadamente 1400km de costa.
Q.A.: Hi there... First of all, congratulations for all the amazing videos of Brazil so far. Keep up with the amazing work. Being 100% honest and sincere, The Travelbum is, at least for me, better than Kara and Nate. Your channel has this unique personality, and I just love the style and the way you both communicate with the public. Never change that. My question is what video editor you use to edit your videos and who of you does that job? Thanks and "FORTE ABRAÇO" !!! :)
Q&A: What you guys think about the fact that in Brazil you can drink alcohol in the streets? I know that in most states in the US you can't. I'm loving to follow your adventures. Bye!
I am from São Paulo, I have always lived in the Southeast, but the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life are all there, where you are, in the Northeast. Be sure to visit the sights of Pernambuco, Ceará and Bahia.
Q&A: I discovered your channel yesterday and I already loved it! So, what was your favorite place in Brazil so far? Also, there are two places in Brazil that I recommend you to visit: Jalapão(in the state of Tocatins) and Lençóis Maranhenses(in the state of Maranhao, but its better to go between February and May - which is the period when there is more water and not just sand)!!
Wow, I’m so impressed with your videos in my country; I’m living in Canada for almost 2 years, and for the first time living outside Brazil, I realized how beautiful my country is, I have never been to those places before. When you had lunch in that restaurant, with that musician testing the sound I started to laugh (hahaha sorry ) because I noticed how noisy is our restaurants. It's been amazing watching all these videos, I noticed simples things that I had in Brazil that I never thought about before. I'm missing so much my country, our cuisine, our beaches, and nature. Enjoy our country and thanks for sharing with us all these experiences ;) You are doing super well without knowing Portuguese because I'm still struggling with English lol
19:09 São Paulo is in the south of the country so it has a subtropical climate, it usually always rains and it has a milder climate, in the summer it is hot, but Rio de Janeiro is definitely warmer. São Paulo never reached 40 degrees, usually around 28 degrees in summer, which is the average heat in summer, Rio de Janeiro has a tropical climate and easily reaches 40 degrees.
Você está falando daquele prédio incrível (Casa do Comércio) ? Se for eles tem de visitar ! É DEMAIS ! Sou do RJ, e ao postar a foto no meu facebook, os gringos piraram ! Baianos tem de viralizar isso. # visite Casa do Comércio SENAC
@@paulopubarosario2313 Já faz tempo mas no centro histórico tinha um restaurante do SENAC tipo buffet que era demais de bom. Claro, tem outros lugares deliciosos, como Sorriso da Dadá. Bom demais
@@vpillajr Oi. Vc conhece este prédio que estou falando ? Se não conhece, dê uma espiadinha no google. Coloca Casa do Comércio, SENAC Salvador. O prédio é muuuito diferente dos convencionais.
Salvador de Bahia is a beautiful city but it is known that Salvador is the most violent city in Brazil that is why the PMBA, the Bahia military police escorted them, because they saw an attempted robbery, but you still have to continue enjoying the trip but with care
Depois de conhecerem a Bahia e não deixem de conhecer a Chapada Diamantina e Porto Seguro ,dêem uma olhada em Porto das pedras -Alagoas . Visitem Recife e Olinda , cidades históricas de Pernambuco e Porto de galinhas . Um aviso sobre as praias , não vão explorar sem antes se informarem, pois pode ter aparições de tubarão em algumas . Cuidado !!!
The policeman probably noticed someone with bad intentions, maybe trying to steal something or even the camera you were filming and removed you from there ...
Acho que quando investirem mais na restauração do Centro histórico de São Luís, com certeza atrairía muitos turistas. Li que nem sequer conseguem localizar vários proprietários de imóveis que estão quase ruindo. Estrangeiros compraram barato e reformaram vários. O Centro de Salvador era horrível há algumas décadas. Deram uma revitalizada nessa área do pelourinho e arredores e passou a atrair e interessar mais os turistas. Até vários americanos se mudaram para Salvador.
@@nancyleal2529 é verdade, sou de Minas mas sou viajante...Salvador de 10 anos pra cá mudou muito pra melhor, revitalizaram o centro histórico, Salvador lembra mt Lisboa na parte do centro histórico, mt bonito policiado e organizado, sua orla muito extensa tbm melhorou mto, são luis tem mto potencial, se derem uma atenção maior ao seu centro histórico tem tudo pra bater de frente.com Salvador e recife, a cidade tbm tem mta cultura.
@@ruangarcia4842, pois é, uma pena não investirem mais, tanto que a cidade nem é muito divulgada turisticamente no Brasil. Quem vai é mais por causa de Lençois Maranhenses (mais divulgada) e aproveita e dá uma olhada em São Luís. Por isso é surpreendente haver imigrantes europeus etc. recentes lá. Estão se dando bem comprando alguns casarões ruindo baratos e abrindo pousadas, padaria etc.
I’m addicted to your videos about the trip to Brazil, it’s very interesting for me, as a Brazilian, to know a foreigner’s perspective of my country. I just came back home from a trip to the State of Alagoas and I can assure you that place worths a visit! It’s located in the same region as the State of Bahia and the beaches are definitely amazing, the landscape is terrific! I recommend you to stay in the capital, Maceió, so from there you can explore the famous beaches of Maragogi and São Miguel dos Milagres. I hope you enjoy your time here in Brazil!
Q and A- Hey guys you doing a fantastic Job. Just a small suggestion, can you get somebody who can get a deeper insight on how people’s lives have been affected due to covid in Brazil? Somebody local, or maybe any vendor? Sort of like a q and a with them. We would love to see their perspective and their take on it.
Salvador is awesome! Full of life and history! You guys should go to lençóis maranhenses, like a lot of people said before. Jalapão is also nice! Very special place :)
I’m in love with your trip só I decides following you! I’m brazilian as well and I know many coutries like yours, but there is nothing like Brazil, is there? You’re tortinha most of the best of Brazil!!! Enjoy! And come to Minas Gerais State, my state!!! Many many Brazil’s histories!!!
I added additional things that came to mind. I really adore Bahia. My apologies for the typos, it’s hard to see without the glare, I have mild cataracts! Please re-read. I have added info I think you’ll enjoy! God bless you! Hi! Sou Brasileira e Americana por parte de pai. I’m Brazilian and - American on my father’s side. Okay, you have some minor things wrong, no biggie! - The really old buildings the young lady mentioned were built around 1500’s, not two hundred years later! If you look for Salvador’s history in Portuguese, you’ll see I’m correct. The city was founded in 1549. Btw:I lived in Salvador for years prior to returning to the US! Circa: 1970’s/80’s. The police following you: Since there are some federal agents in my family, (Both Americans and Brazilians) it was explained to me that the police officer might have noticed something/or someone following or watching you and perhaps someone might have noticed and notified the police and as to why he followed you both, or he might have thought you were famous, but who knows? lol. -It’s not the norm though... I do know you were at an area that has crime. I know, it doesn’t look, but my parents were rubbed many times in that area in the 70’s! Salvador is not a super safe city, it’s filled with pick-pockets, etc,... you got lucky! Overall, the people are very nice there and I know you had fun from the looks of it! Óleo de Dendê! Ah,... Saudades! Palm oil is extracted from the palm, a fruit given by the oil palm nuts which looks like mini coconuts, it’s yellow inside and very different from coconuts. it’s palm tree was originally from Africa which was brought to Brazil in the 17th century and adapted on the coast of Bahia due to the tropical climate. It’s quite acidic and super fattening, but the oil flavor once cooked is amazing ! Great for fish fry, moqueca de camarão, acarajés, etc,... (Comidas típicas Baianas!) Additional info about the capital of Bahia: (Yes, it’s Salvador!) Baia de todos is Santos., (Bay of all Saints) has some of the most admired historical buildings in the country. To celebrate the legacy and beauty of the capital of Bahia, I have gathered some info for anyone interested, these are the major attractions/suggestions of what to know in Salvador for you to go back in time and fall in love even more with the culture of Bahia & it’s friendly people! But, Bahia is filled with history! Please check the entire State for its history. - It’s were Brazil was discovered. ---- First, Baianos love to eat! They have unique long siestas! The food is phenomenal! The cuisine is a typical Afro/Portuguese cuisine to die for! (Not literally, of course!) So keep in mind the diversity when it comes to comidas típicas Baianas! Some of the typical sweets I grew up with are: Cocadas - made with sugar and coconut shavings.The cocada is part of the typical sweets of Bahia. Sweet and crunchy, it is believed that the cocada recipe arrived in Bahia through enslaved people. Over the years, the cocada has conquered the traditional taste of Portuguese and Brazilian styles, becoming a traditional Baiano desert all over Brazil. Some sweets I remember as a child are: Again: Cocadas - in addition to the traditional version made with condensed milk, sugar and grated coconut, other recipes with passion fruit, chocolate, strawberry and many others are possible! - The traditional flavor is my favorite! Pé de moleque - Softer than peanut brittle, really yummy candy! Bolinho de estudante - wank This fried tapioca sweet is covered with sugar and cinnamon and is also known as "punheta". I love it! PAMONHA!!!! Omg, this sweet made from corn is sensational! You must try if you love corn! Mungunzá - (the actual African name) like harmony corn, but super yummy. The known name in Brazil is Canjica. It’s excellent abs a favorite in the winter. (In my family) Quindim de iaiá - much like a custard, but even better! So good, you have to have more than one! Baba de moça- Another Portuguese heritage is baba de moça, a simple and delicious dessert prepared with egg yolks, coconut milk and condensed milk. This is one of many typical sweets from Bahia, delicious and simple to make! Okay, enough sweets, let’s step to the next level: The local people! Baianos love loud festive music, there’s always some sort of festivity in Bahia! The traditional fun stuff: Concerts on the beach and going to the beach as much as possible! A very popular tradition are the Trios elétricos which are famous semi -trucks built like ambulant nightclubs so-to-speak; it’s a kind of truck or float equipped with a high-power sound system that’s pretty crazy loud, where you can hear for blocks on end, and a stage for music performance on the top, playing for the crowd as it drives through the cities and hold many famous artists. The crowds are typically HUGE! Please note: Leave your smart devices in a safe, secure place and all your personal possessions if you decide to attend one of these party blocks, bc the thieves will most likely target you as a potential easy prey, or crowds are so compacted that you might just lose your phone accidentally. Keep your cash/cards/ID safely tucked in undercover hidden fanny bag, the type that wraps around your body, facing forward, not back! This is a very good advice for anyone traveling anywhere in the world! I have been to 49 countries, only two felt safe in my experience, none were safe in Central or South America. Sorry. ---- Historical points of Salvador Lacerda's elevator - Elevador Lacerda **** Model market - Mercado Modelo ***** Santo Antônio Fort, Barra Lighthouse (Farol da Barra) ***** !!! Nautical Museum Please note: mercado Modelo is worth visiting! That marketing rich in history and it’s goods are beautiful, I specifically love the African style silver jewelry. You must get the ancient African “Figa” for good luck! The Historic Center of Salvador de Bahia, is also known as the Pelourinho (Portuguese for "Pillory") it is a historic neighborhood in western Salvador, Bahia and it was the city's epicenter during the Portuguese colonial period. It was unfortunately known for the whipping post in its central plaza where enslaved people from Africa were publicly beaten as punishment for alleged infractions and they were also sold as slaves.The Historic Center is extremely rich in historical monuments dating from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Unlike Americans, Brazilians do not live in the past, it’s a different mentality all together there. Okay moving on: Two extremely famous churches: Our Lord of Bonfim Church **** Igreja Nosso Senhor do Bomfim! This is the church/cathedral my mom used to take me for her novenas, etc,... It is the most famous cathedral in Salvador. Please check out it’s amazing history online, I promise you’ll like it! São Francisco Church and Convent Pillory (Pelourinho) is located in the historical centre of Salvado, a must see church! More details about it: The ornate Church of the Third Order of Saint Francis sits adjacent to the convent. The friars of the Franciscan Order arrived in Salvador in 1587 and constructed a convent and church on the site. This structure was destroyed by the Dutch during the Dutch invasions of Bahia - in the next century; Father Vicente das Chagas initiated the current structure in 1686 which was completed in the 18th century. The Franciscan church and convent have the largest number of azulejos, 55,000, of any church in Latin America & it’s beautiful! How I miss Bahia... ----- Don’t forget to try these very traditional foods: Acarajé! is a type of fried cake made from black eye peas, but some call it cowpeas... . It is the most wonderful and popular street food in Bahia. The recipe for acarajé was introduced to Bahia by slaves who possibly came from Yorùbáland during the colonial period. In Nigeria acarajé is named Akara, and the women who sell it call out "Akara je", which means "Come and eat Akara" in Yoruba. So when freed Yorùbá slaves started to sell acarajé on the streets, and the beaches, they used the same technique. You’ll see them all over now. Crab legs on the beach with chopinho and a live band. There’s nothing better! Btw: If you see a lady wrapped in a white gown and turban around her head, she’s like a priestess - Mãe de Santo. Ask her to bless you and if it’s possible to take a photo with her, it’s a treasure! - You must ask permission, these ladies tend to carry entities, some may not like the idea, but no harm in asking! ----- Try these places next time you visit Bahia I lived in Costa Azul - where all the rich and famous lived. Patamares. A very trendy on the ocean resort style neighborhood. Very rich. My previous home before moving back to the US. Farol da barra. Piatã Praia do Forte Pituba - Pituba is a large upper class neighborhood located in the southeastern zone of Salvador, Bahia. Its main routes, the Avenues Manoel Dias da Silva and Paul VI.Its name is indigenous origin and means "breath, breath, sea". Another great tourist place: Try visiting Porto Seguro (about four plus away from Salvador!) -Where Brazil was discovered. It is worth it!!! I hope unwashed helpful! Hugs, Luciana.
Do you know about the American UA-camrs in Brazil trend? They learn portuguese, come to Brazil and become youtubers. They are for sure more famous in Brazil than in US, they are funny, they speak good portuguese but they know that the broken portuguese is more friendly than a perfect portuguese so the try to speak wrong portuguese as much as possible. 😅🤣😂 The most famous are Tim Explica, Small Advantages, Grigo Comédia, Kim Sola, Grigo Chris, etc... Could you please make a react video about these characters?🤣😅😂
You must try Acarajé. It is made for beans pasta and fryed, stuffed with shrimp and becarefull with chilli (quente=hot) or without chili (frio=cold). Very good.
You should visit Chapada Diamantina here in Bahia.
É muito longe de salvador, é melhor eles irem pra outro estado ao Invés de ficar muito tempo na Bahia
I do agree.
Tem muita coisa interessante ainda em Salvador.. Até as Igrejas, farol da barra, rio vermelho, itapoã, etc
The bracelet you suppose to make 3 knots and 3 wishes, when the bracelet falls by it self the wishes will come true. That's the tradition. :)

Proteger os gringos de serem assaltados kkkk
Eu sou do Sul e quando fui com a família no Pelourinho havia quase que um policial em cada esquina de olho nos turistas. Muito bom!
Acho que ele achou que os gringos estavam perdidos e não sabiam pedir comida então tentou ajudar, pra mim pareceu normal, só foi intimidador pq ele era um policial.

Salvador is a very important city for our history (especially brazilian black history) so it's good if you can get a guide or a local to actually explain the importance of the places and culture.
Also you don't eat dipping the food in the farofa lol you put it on your plate with the rest of the food. and feijoada is not traditional to Bahia, you can get it anywhere in Brasil.

Pelourinho is the most turist part, but you also have to visit farol da Barra, Ribeira, Itapuã. And instead of praia do forte go to itacimirim,around 5km before praia do forte, its less turist but more beautiful, try to look the sea board during low tide it has the most beautiful natural pool you will every see
Yes! My boyfriend lives in Salvador and Pelo is just a small part of Salvador! It's probably because it's the most flashy.
Go to Maragogi in Alagoas and Lençois Maranhenses is also beautiful ❤
Lençóis Maranhenses são bonitos de fevereiro a maio, fora dessa época eles ficam secos.
salvador is just my favourite place in the world i’m happy you can experience it. axé
just so you know Pelourinho is the upper city it was chosen bc of its strategic location ( being able to see incoming ships), the public services were and continue to be concentrated there. the lower city had a lot less initial development and the effects are still felt today, the lower city is where the Suburbana is which is where I lived in Salvador. a cidade baixa é perfeita 😍
The church and convent of São Francisco is the richest barroque church of Brasil ( in the historic part of Salvador). It's worth the visit.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_and_Convent_of_S%C3%A3o_Francisco,_Salvador
you guys need to visit “morro de são paulo”!!!
concordo
concordo
É tão pertinho e é imperdível
Eles estão em Itacaré pelo que vi no insta
Yeah amazing place!!!
You know your fast when the video was posted 24 seconds ago.
I'm loving your videos here in Brazil, you can already post two during the day hahaha! Come to Fortaleza, Jericoacoara, beautiful cities in the Northeast of the country ❤️🇧🇷
Poderiam ir em Morro de São Paulo e se possível praia do Forte. Se tivessem mais um tempo, na Chapada Diamantina. Ainda na Bahia, o litoral sul seria uma ótima opção. Trancoso e Arraial D'Ajuda e Itacaré.
Man, in Pelourinho there is a Lot of museums to Go, like casa só carnaval, casa de Jorge amado and the churchs
There's a church in the middle of Pelourinho made of gold! It's a must visit!
Que os baianos me informem... É possível comer Feijoada junto com moqueca de camarão, ou essa mistura explosiva pode mandar a pessoa para outro mundo ? Acho que as baianas até pouparam eles. Só deram a moqueca.
Acho que pode sim. Tudo vai depender da quantidade que vc vai comer.
17:25 - Portuguese and Spanish languages are very similar. We brazilian can understand 50% to 90% percent of spanish during some talking (It depends on the talking subject), but it's only possible when a NATIVE spanish speaker is involved, when it comes to be a NON NATIVE speaker it get really hard to understand.
You can go to "Morro de Sao Paulo in Bahia", it is very beautiful.
The oil palm culture is probably the one with the greatest growth potential in the world among cultures of economic significance. Brazil has the greatest global potential for the production of palm oil, due to the nearly 75 million hectares of land suitable for oil palm, with emphasis on the states of Pará, Bahia and Amapá, the main palm oil producers in the country. Popularly known as guinea palm, demdem (Angola), dende palm and dendê coconut palm, palm was brought to Brazil by slaves and adapted well to the humid tropical climate of the North and Northeast regions It is considered the most productive oilseed that exists, surpassing the production of sunflower, castor and soy. After all, one hectare with oil palm yields 5 tons of oil per year, while soybean, only 500 kilos and castor oil, 700 kilos of oil per year. The promising oil palm culture in Brazil has opened doors for the use of its oil to obtain biodiesel, which can replace or be mixed with diesel oil derived from petroleum.
So correct me if I’m wrong... I thought the production of palm oil is considered to be a root cause of deforestation and destruction of the rain forests?
it has been decades since there has been a smuggling of hardwoods, wild animals and precious stones. and a government colluding with this situation since 1950. But don't Tell the true we live a lie.
Go To Chapada Diamantina! Amazing Nature! In Bahia State!
Hello, how are you?
You are in Salvador.
You are close to two paradises:
1- Morro de São Paulo
2- Trancoso.
You need to know these two paradises that have beautiful beaches with crystal clear and warm water.
The food looks so yummy! Again I love the colours! Salvador really seems to be another beautiful place in Brazil!👍 How's your hand now? What happened?
Q&A: Your videos are showing Brasil as a very colorful place. At this point in your journey, what is the most colorful thing or place that you have experienced?
Bonito video, saludos desde Arequipa - Perú ❤️❤️❤️
Ai na Bahia tem uns lugares lindos, cito: ITACARÉ. MORRO DE SÃO PAULO. PORTO SEGURO. E TRANCOSO. Em Salvador no litoral Norte tem a PRAIA DO FORTE. IMBASAHI E GUARAJUBA. Sou de São Paulo, Abraços. Curtem bastante.
Chapada Diamantina
Brazil is beautiful! Thanks for the share! 💕
Super Like!! Como diria o outro ' Melhor que Netflix!' XD
You had problems with "farofa", I see. Americans generally think farofa is a kind of sand!
That's because a good farofa is homemade. In restaurants it is never tasty
@@leomonteiro so true.
Beautiful Salvador Bahia! Thank you for sharing! 🤗
Beautiful I love Bahia Brazil 🇧🇷❤️💙
I would recommend you to find a local guide for a better cultural immersion. Maybe try some religious experience. In Bahia catholic religion mix with black ancestry traditions like in no other place! That’s why the religious traditions in Bahia are an immaterial heritage of Brazil! Maybe a local guide could help you with that!
Hi, guys! I'd suggest the following places: (1) In the state of Maranhão: Lençóis Maranhenses. (2) in the state of Ceará: Jericoacoara. (3) In the North: Manaus and Belém. (4) In the South: Florianópolis, Curitiba, and Gramado. (5) In the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (midwest): Bonito.
No Maranhão a Chapada das Mesas (Carolina, Riachão) também é excelente pra turismo de natureza. Os Lençóis Maranhenses nesta época podem estar parcialmente secos, a temporada de chuvas está começando agora por aqui.
Yes ! That’s awesome places to visit I quite recommend visiting ceara and even Rio Grande do Norte (natal) to see the dunes ! It will be a great experience to you ! Keep pushing guys !
yeah
Vcs tem que conhecer as cidades históricas de Minas Gerais são muito lindas.
E o Sul de Minas, Cidades com Fontes de Águas Minerais, plantações de café, queijos, doces, enfim a Toscana brasileira
Up
Se tiverem oportunidade conheçam litoral norte PRAIA DO FORTE
I hope you don't go to what they call the slums in the big cities...I'm tired of seeing that....what you are showing is much more interesting, nice, beautiful, relaxing ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Q.A Do you guys have any plans to visit the capital (brasilia)?
Com muito orgulho, um pedaço da linda e contagiante África no Brasil!!!
Pena vocês não poderem por causa da pandemia assistir uma apresentação do Grupo Oludum.Lindíssimo!De arrepiar!!!!
Recently discovered your channel - loving it. I’m from South Africa and Brazil (Rio) has become my “home away from home” Salvador is arguably my 2nd favourite city in Brazil and it’s a huge pity that you not able to experience it pre covid-19. As I’m sure you heard, it’s as lively as what Rio is normally at its peak. Not sure what you have all planned but if you’re able to, here are a few places worth checking out...Porto da Barra (popular beach), islands tours of Ilha dos Frades and Ilha de Itaparica, Praia de Guarajuba (try the mocheca again, this time on the beach) and the awesome village Praia de Forte. Also the little city tour is great. Enjoy meu amigos 👍🏻😉
O Estado tem a segunda maior baía marítima do planeta .Pra conhecer isso tudo teriam q se hospedar uns seis meses pois é muita localidade aproximadamente 1400km de costa.
That food looks super yummy!
How is the coffee in Brazil comparing to the rest of South American countries you have been to?
Bahia is my second home. I had the happiest six month of my life in bahia salvador. I still dream about being there.
You guys have to try ACARAJÉ, which is the typical food of Salvador
**ACARAJÉ
Que video lindo parabéns, adoro o casal vocês são simpáticos e amáveis.
Q.A.: Hi there... First of all, congratulations for all the amazing videos of Brazil so far. Keep up with the amazing work. Being 100% honest and sincere, The Travelbum is, at least for me, better than Kara and Nate. Your channel has this unique personality, and I just love the style and the way you both communicate with the public. Never change that. My question is what video editor you use to edit your videos and who of you does that job? Thanks and "FORTE ABRAÇO" !!! :)
Q&A: What you guys think about the fact that in Brazil you can drink alcohol in the streets? I know that in most states in the US you can't. I'm loving to follow your adventures. Bye!
💞💖🤝👍❤👍
I am from São Paulo, I have always lived in the Southeast, but the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life are all there, where you are, in the Northeast. Be sure to visit the sights of Pernambuco, Ceará and Bahia.
Q&A: I discovered your channel yesterday and I already loved it! So, what was your favorite place in Brazil so far?
Also, there are two places in Brazil that I recommend you to visit: Jalapão(in the state of Tocatins) and Lençóis Maranhenses(in the state of Maranhao, but its better to go between February and May - which is the period when there is more water and not just sand)!!
Não sei, mas dizem que tem uma igreja muito bonita em Salvador que as paredes são banhadas a ouro, perto do pelourinho.
Wow, I’m so impressed with your videos in my country; I’m living in Canada for almost 2 years, and for the first time living outside Brazil, I realized how beautiful my country is, I have never been to those places before. When you had lunch in that restaurant, with that musician testing the sound I started to laugh (hahaha sorry ) because I noticed how noisy is our restaurants.
It's been amazing watching all these videos, I noticed simples things that I had in Brazil that I never thought about before. I'm missing so much my country, our cuisine, our beaches, and nature. Enjoy our country and thanks for sharing with us all these experiences ;)
You are doing super well without knowing Portuguese because I'm still struggling with English lol
Caraíva no Sul da Bahia e um paraíso.
19:09 São Paulo is in the south of the country so it has a subtropical climate, it usually always rains and it has a milder climate, in the summer it is hot, but Rio de Janeiro is definitely warmer. São Paulo never reached 40 degrees, usually around 28 degrees in summer, which is the average heat in summer, Rio de Janeiro has a tropical climate and easily reaches 40 degrees.
Hi, one suggestion. The SENAC restaurant used to have nice prices and great food, buffet style over there, cidade alta.
Try Sorriso de Dadá also. Just delicious
Você está falando daquele prédio incrível (Casa do Comércio) ? Se for eles tem de visitar ! É DEMAIS ! Sou do RJ, e ao postar a foto no meu facebook, os gringos piraram ! Baianos tem de viralizar isso. # visite Casa do Comércio SENAC
@@paulopubarosario2313 Já faz tempo mas no centro histórico tinha um restaurante do SENAC tipo buffet que era demais de bom. Claro, tem outros lugares deliciosos, como Sorriso da Dadá. Bom demais
@@vpillajr Oi. Vc conhece este prédio que estou falando ? Se não conhece, dê uma espiadinha no google. Coloca Casa do Comércio, SENAC Salvador. O prédio é muuuito diferente dos convencionais.
Salvador de Bahia is a beautiful city but it is known that Salvador is the most violent city in Brazil that is why the PMBA, the Bahia military police escorted them, because they saw an attempted robbery, but you still have to continue enjoying the trip but with care
Depois de conhecerem a Bahia e não deixem de conhecer a Chapada Diamantina e Porto Seguro ,dêem uma olhada em Porto das pedras -Alagoas . Visitem Recife e Olinda , cidades históricas de Pernambuco e Porto de galinhas . Um aviso sobre as praias , não vão explorar sem antes se informarem, pois pode ter aparições de tubarão em algumas . Cuidado !!!
The policeman probably noticed someone with bad intentions, maybe trying to steal something or even the camera you were filming and removed you from there ...
Visit Belém do Pará the best city Amazon.
Tá de sacanagem, né? Belém é um horror.
Adorando acompanhar a viagem de vocês ♥️.
Q&A - Do you plan on visiting the south of brazil? I'm really excited to see your take on there
Me irrita saber que São Luís é tão subestimada pelos próprios brasileiros. Com certeza o mais magnífico centro histórico do Brasil
Conheço as duas Salvador e mais bonita
Acho que quando investirem mais na restauração do Centro histórico de São Luís, com certeza atrairía muitos turistas. Li que nem sequer conseguem localizar vários proprietários de imóveis que estão quase ruindo. Estrangeiros compraram barato e reformaram vários. O Centro de Salvador era horrível há algumas décadas. Deram uma revitalizada nessa área do pelourinho e arredores e passou a atrair e interessar mais os turistas. Até vários americanos se mudaram para Salvador.
@@nancyleal2529 é verdade, sou de Minas mas sou viajante...Salvador de 10 anos pra cá mudou muito pra melhor, revitalizaram o centro histórico, Salvador lembra mt Lisboa na parte do centro histórico, mt bonito policiado e organizado, sua orla muito extensa tbm melhorou mto, são luis tem mto potencial, se derem uma atenção maior ao seu centro histórico tem tudo pra bater de frente.com Salvador e recife, a cidade tbm tem mta cultura.
@@ruangarcia4842, pois é, uma pena não investirem mais, tanto que a cidade nem é muito divulgada turisticamente no Brasil. Quem vai é mais por causa de Lençois Maranhenses (mais divulgada) e aproveita e dá uma olhada em São Luís. Por isso é surpreendente haver imigrantes europeus etc. recentes lá. Estão se dando bem comprando alguns casarões ruindo baratos e abrindo pousadas, padaria etc.
You guys are perfect I love to see that you’re like Brazil. You should to visit Maceió, a city from Alagoas it’s beautiful place for relax some days.
Cidade, parecia tá bem limpa gostei 👏
welcome to my city! 😍💕
O ruim do Brasil é que em todo lugar que você vai tem barulho ou um cantor de segunda.
Síndrome de vira-lata.
The streets are so pretty, and must be awesome with the streets being empty!
Fantásticos.. foram p Salvador!!
Praia do forte
Praia do fraco?
You guys should come to Florianopolis because It’s an amazing place. Bye
I live in that state, but in another city. I love this state so much ❤️ Bahia!
Hi, the buildings, only need the wrought iron balconies, and you'll be in New Orleans... greetings guys, beautiful 💓 what else... Brasil.....,
I’m addicted to your videos about the trip to Brazil, it’s very interesting for me, as a Brazilian, to know a foreigner’s perspective of my country. I just came back home from a trip to the State of Alagoas and I can assure you that place worths a visit! It’s located in the same region as the State of Bahia and the beaches are definitely amazing, the landscape is terrific! I recommend you to stay in the capital, Maceió, so from there you can explore the famous beaches of Maragogi and São Miguel dos Milagres. I hope you enjoy your time here in Brazil!
oxe gente kkk do nada o polícia militar com eles, gente boa
That food looks delicious guys!
Why do you shoot everything in 60 fps instead of 24? Is that just in case you can get a little bit of slow motion in every part of the trip?
Yep!! You got it
Q and A- Hey guys you doing a fantastic Job. Just a small suggestion, can you get somebody who can get a deeper insight on how people’s lives have been affected due to covid in Brazil? Somebody local, or maybe any vendor? Sort of like a q and a with them. We would love to see their perspective and their take on it.
Ohh good idea , that would be very interesting. The language barrier makes it hard, but we can try!
@@lindseyfw2903 Yeah, at least you can give it a try I guess. Otherwise really good job on the content 🙂
Gostaria de saber o porquê de não usar máscara no meio de uma pandemia
Santo Antônio além do Carmo, cafeliê. Please, Go to that place
Salvador is awesome! Full of life and history!
You guys should go to lençóis maranhenses, like a lot of people said before.
Jalapão is also nice! Very special place :)
Colorinho. Lol. It's actually Pelourinho.
Eles comeram Feijoada e Muqueca de camarão 🍤 Meu Pai Oxalá !!! Coitadinho do tio fígado...kkkkkkkk
I’m in love with your trip só I decides following you!
I’m brazilian as well and I know many coutries like yours, but there is nothing like Brazil, is there?
You’re tortinha most of the best of Brazil!!!
Enjoy!
And come to Minas Gerais State, my state!!! Many many Brazil’s histories!!!
So...I decided...
You ‘re trying most...
I added additional things that came to mind. I really adore Bahia. My apologies for the typos, it’s hard to see without the glare, I have mild cataracts! Please re-read. I have added info I think you’ll enjoy!
God bless you!
Hi! Sou Brasileira e Americana por parte de pai. I’m Brazilian and - American on my father’s side.
Okay, you have some minor things wrong, no biggie!
- The really old buildings the young lady mentioned were built around 1500’s, not two hundred years later! If you look for Salvador’s history in Portuguese, you’ll see I’m correct. The city was founded in 1549. Btw:I lived in Salvador for years prior to returning to the US! Circa: 1970’s/80’s.
The police following you:
Since there are some federal agents in my family, (Both Americans and Brazilians) it was explained to me that the police officer might have noticed something/or someone following or watching you and perhaps someone might have noticed and notified the police and as to why he followed you both, or he might have thought you were famous, but who knows? lol. -It’s not the norm though... I do know you were at an area that has crime. I know, it doesn’t look, but my parents were rubbed many times in that area in the 70’s! Salvador is not a super safe city, it’s filled with pick-pockets, etc,... you got lucky! Overall, the people are very nice there and I know you had fun from the looks of it!
Óleo de Dendê! Ah,... Saudades! Palm oil is extracted from the palm, a fruit given by the oil palm nuts which looks like mini coconuts, it’s yellow inside and very different from coconuts. it’s palm tree was originally from Africa which was brought to Brazil in the 17th century and adapted on the coast of Bahia due to the tropical climate. It’s quite acidic and super fattening, but the oil flavor once cooked is amazing ! Great for fish fry, moqueca de camarão, acarajés, etc,... (Comidas típicas Baianas!)
Additional info about the capital of Bahia: (Yes, it’s Salvador!)
Baia de todos is Santos., (Bay of all Saints) has some of the most admired historical buildings in the country. To celebrate the legacy and beauty of the capital of Bahia, I have gathered some info for anyone interested, these are the major attractions/suggestions of what to know in Salvador for you to go back in time and fall in love even more with the culture of Bahia & it’s friendly people! But, Bahia is filled with history! Please check the entire State for its history. - It’s were Brazil was discovered.

First, Baianos love to eat!
They have unique long siestas!
The food is phenomenal!
The cuisine is a typical Afro/Portuguese cuisine to die for! (Not literally, of course!) So keep in mind the diversity when it comes to comidas típicas Baianas!
Some of the typical sweets I grew up with are:
Cocadas - made with sugar and coconut shavings.The cocada is part of the typical sweets of Bahia. Sweet and crunchy, it is believed that the cocada recipe arrived in Bahia through enslaved people. Over the years, the cocada has conquered the traditional taste of Portuguese and Brazilian styles, becoming a traditional Baiano desert all over Brazil.
Some sweets I remember as a child are:
Again: Cocadas - in addition to the traditional version made with condensed milk, sugar and grated coconut, other recipes with passion fruit, chocolate, strawberry and many others are possible! - The traditional flavor is my favorite!
Pé de moleque - Softer than peanut brittle, really yummy candy!
Bolinho de estudante - wank
This fried tapioca sweet is covered with sugar and cinnamon and is also known as "punheta". I love it!
PAMONHA!!!! Omg, this sweet made from corn is sensational! You must try if you love corn!
Mungunzá - (the actual African name) like harmony corn, but super yummy. The known name in Brazil is Canjica. It’s excellent abs a favorite in the winter. (In my family)
Quindim de iaiá - much like a custard, but even better! So good, you have to have more than one!
Baba de moça- Another Portuguese heritage is baba de moça, a simple and delicious dessert prepared with egg yolks, coconut milk and condensed milk. This is one of many typical sweets from Bahia, delicious and simple to make!
Okay, enough sweets, let’s step to the next level: The local people!
Baianos love loud festive music, there’s always some sort of festivity in Bahia!
The traditional fun stuff: Concerts on the beach and going to the beach as much as possible! A very popular tradition are the Trios elétricos which are famous semi -trucks built like ambulant nightclubs so-to-speak; it’s a kind of truck or float equipped with a high-power sound system that’s pretty crazy loud, where you can hear for blocks on end, and a stage for music performance on the top, playing for the crowd as it drives through the cities and hold many famous artists. The crowds are typically HUGE! Please note: Leave your smart devices in a safe, secure place and all your personal possessions if you decide to attend one of these party blocks, bc the thieves will most likely target you as a potential easy prey, or crowds are so compacted that you might just lose your phone accidentally. Keep your cash/cards/ID safely tucked in undercover hidden fanny bag, the type that wraps around your body, facing forward, not back! This is a very good advice for anyone traveling anywhere in the world! I have been to 49 countries, only two felt safe in my experience, none were safe in Central or South America. Sorry.

Historical points of Salvador
Lacerda's elevator - Elevador Lacerda ****
Model market - Mercado Modelo *****
Santo Antônio Fort, Barra Lighthouse (Farol da Barra) ***** !!!
Nautical Museum
Please note: mercado Modelo is worth visiting! That marketing rich in history and it’s goods are beautiful, I specifically love the African style silver jewelry. You must get the ancient African “Figa” for good luck!
The Historic Center of Salvador de Bahia, is also known as the Pelourinho (Portuguese for "Pillory") it is a historic neighborhood in western Salvador, Bahia and it was the city's epicenter during the Portuguese colonial period. It was unfortunately known for the whipping post in its central plaza where enslaved people from Africa were publicly beaten as punishment for alleged infractions and they were also sold as slaves.The Historic Center is extremely rich in historical monuments dating from the 17th through the 19th centuries. Unlike Americans, Brazilians do not live in the past, it’s a different mentality all together there.
Okay moving on:
Two extremely famous churches:
Our Lord of Bonfim Church **** Igreja Nosso Senhor do Bomfim! This is the church/cathedral my mom used to take me for her novenas, etc,... It is the most famous cathedral in Salvador. Please check out it’s amazing history online, I promise you’ll like it!
São Francisco Church and Convent
Pillory (Pelourinho) is located in the historical centre of Salvado, a must see church! More details about it:
The ornate Church of the Third Order of Saint Francis sits adjacent to the convent. The friars of the Franciscan Order arrived in Salvador in 1587 and constructed a convent and church on the site. This structure was destroyed by the Dutch during the Dutch invasions of Bahia - in the next century; Father Vicente das Chagas initiated the current structure in 1686 which was completed in the 18th century.
The Franciscan church and convent have the largest number of azulejos, 55,000, of any church in Latin America & it’s beautiful!
How I miss Bahia...
-----
Don’t forget to try these very traditional foods:
Acarajé! is a type of fried cake made from black eye peas, but some call it cowpeas... . It is the most wonderful and popular street food in Bahia. The recipe for acarajé was introduced to Bahia by slaves who possibly came from Yorùbáland during the colonial period. In Nigeria acarajé is named Akara, and the women who sell it call out "Akara je", which means "Come and eat Akara" in Yoruba. So when freed Yorùbá slaves started to sell acarajé on the streets, and the beaches, they used the same technique. You’ll see them all over now.
Crab legs on the beach with chopinho and a live band. There’s nothing better!
Btw: If you see a lady wrapped in a white gown and turban around her head, she’s like a priestess - Mãe de Santo. Ask her to bless you and if it’s possible to take a photo with her, it’s a treasure! - You must ask permission, these ladies tend to carry entities, some may not like the idea, but no harm in asking!
-----
Try these places next time you visit Bahia
I lived in Costa Azul - where all the rich and famous lived.
Patamares. A very trendy on the ocean resort style neighborhood. Very rich. My previous home before moving back to the US.
Farol da barra.
Piatã
Praia do Forte
Pituba - Pituba is a large upper class neighborhood located in the southeastern zone of Salvador, Bahia. Its main routes, the Avenues Manoel Dias da Silva and Paul VI.Its name is indigenous origin and means "breath, breath, sea".
Another great tourist place:
Try visiting Porto Seguro (about four plus away from Salvador!) -Where Brazil was discovered. It is worth it!!!
I hope unwashed helpful!
Hugs,
Luciana.
Hey thank you so much to come salvador bahia the firist capital from brasil many things to know from the place and state good fun people
Do you know about the American UA-camrs in Brazil trend? They learn portuguese, come to Brazil and become youtubers. They are for sure more famous in Brazil than in US, they are funny, they speak good portuguese but they know that the broken portuguese is more friendly than a perfect portuguese so the try to speak wrong portuguese as much as possible. 😅🤣😂 The most famous are Tim Explica, Small Advantages, Grigo Comédia, Kim Sola, Grigo Chris, etc... Could you please make a react video about these characters?🤣😅😂
Salvador e lindo! Parabéns pelo vídeo.
Meus Amigos Americanos
Cidade. Igual O Rio de janeiro

You must try Acarajé. It is made for beans pasta and fryed, stuffed with shrimp and becarefull with chilli (quente=hot) or without chili (frio=cold). Very good.
I highly recommend meeting lençóis maranhenses in Maranhão, it’s amazing
Vão até o Litoral Norte da Bahia (Linha Verde: Guarajuba, Imbassaí, Sauípe, Praia do Forte ...), há 60 km de Salvador. Paraísos na terra !!!
