Did You Know?

Brazil's First Capital

Salvador was the capital of Portuguese Brazil from 1549 to 1763 and the main port of the Atlantic slave trade in the Americas. Its Afro-Brazilian culture — capoeira, candomblé, the food — descends directly from that history.

The clock: Salvador keeps UTC−3. Its carnival runs on moving sound trucks, the trios elétricos, and by some counts draws larger street crowds than Rio's.
