It is often said that Rio de Janeiro enjoys the world's most beautiful city setting -- between ocean and escarpment. Rio is the iconic city of Brazil and indeed all South America, famous for dramatic and sensual images of nature and a vibrant and creative population. Rio is the world's largest tropical city and one of the most densely populated places on earth. The citizens of Rio are known for their lust for life and love of romance, music and dance. It is hard to find a city where the local populace derives more pleasure form the simplest aspects of living.
Salvador, founded in 1549 by Portuguese sailors, is commonly believed by most Brazilians to be the soul of Brazil. As the first city in Brazil it was to remain the seat of political, administrative and economic power until 1763 when the capital moved to Rio de Janeiro. Salvador was also the source of initial wealth of the colony through its massive sugar cane and tobacco plantations. Evidence of this golden era is to be seen in Salvador’s Pelourinho district, which houses one of the largest and best-preserved complexes of colonial architecture in the Americas.
