Itinerary
- Day 1
Salvador
You'll arrive in Salvador and get picked up at the airport for transfer to your hotel. Check-in happens at 2:00 PM, so if you land earlier, the reception can hold your luggage while you grab a bite or freshen up. The rest of the day is yours to wander around the city and adjust after travel. It's a good time to get oriented and rest up before things get busier.
