</tbody></table>
<br />
You need a passport and visa (<a href="http://www.passportsandvisas.com/index.asp?affiliate=15813" target="_blank">click here to get both</a>) to travel to Brazil if you are a US citizen. You apply for your passport through the Post Office. The <a href="http://www.passportsandvisas.com/index.asp?affiliate=15813" target="_blank">visa</a> is a stamp the goes in your <a href="http://www.passportsandvisas.com/index.asp?affiliate=15813" target="_blank">passport</a>. You can get a Brazil visa at the Brazil Consulate for the state that you live in. (<a href="http://mooraboutbahia.blogspot.com/2010/10/brazil-entry-requirements.html" target="_blank">Click here to see list of countries that do not need visas, Trinidad for example</a>) You do not have to appear in person, you can send your passport and visa application in the mail and the Brazil Consulate will mail it back to you.<br />
<br />
If you need to talk further send me an email: <a href="mailto:bahiacitytours@gmail.com">bahiacitytours@gmail.com</a>. I will put more detailed instructions on visa & <br />
<a name='more'></a>passport at the bottom.<br />
<br />
Other items that you should bring are:<br />
<br />
<u style="color: red;"><b>-Debit Card.</b></u> NOT REQUIRED! You can bring cash and exchange it here for the local currency. The exchange stores here give you a pretty good rate (the are called "cambios").This city has many exchange stores that can help you but it is easier to just swipe your debit card at the ATM machines here in Brazil. HSBC and Citibank are here and you can use your debit card at any ATM and store that accepts MasterCard/Visa.<br />
<br />
-<u style="color: red;"><b>Make a photocopy of your passport info and visa stamp page. </b> </u>This way you don't have to walk around with your passport on you.<br />
<br />
-Bring a light jacket (in case of rain) but pretty much it is sunny and humid here. Right now is summertime, it lasts from <b>22nd December - 21st March</b>, so you won't need heavy clothes.<br />
<br />
-Other clothing I would advise are shorts, tank tops, slippers/flip flops and bathing suit.<br />
<br />
-Other than that just bring yourself and a positive outlook and I guarantee you'll have the greatest time of your life. Brazilians are very friendly, easy-going people who love to enjoy the simple things in life. The attitude here is very cool and mellow. It's a great place to unwind and relax.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Passport and Visa Instructions</u><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Passport: To get your passport you fill out an application that can be picked up from the Post Office. You also have to get two 2x2 photos, copy of your id card, and your birth certificate. <a href="http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_830.html" target="_blank">Here is the gov't link with all that info</a>. The fee is $165, only payable by US Postal Money Order.<br />
<br />
(I highly advice getting your passport expedited because it is taking 2 to 4 weeks to process passports. I will put a link at the bottom where you can get your passport expedited in 7-10 days for $79. Highly Recommended because you need your passport back in time to get your visa stamped in it.)<br />
<br />
Visa: If you are a US citizen you need a visa stamp in your passport to enter Brazil. <a href="http://mooraboutbahia.blogspot.com/2010/10/list-of-brazilian-consulates-in-us.html" target="_blank">You can apply by clicking this link to see what Brazil Consulate jurisdiction you are in.</a> Contact the Consulate that handles your state by email or clicking their website. The fee is $140, payable only by US Postal Money Order. VISAS GENERALLY TAKE 3-4 DAYS TO PROCESS SO YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO EXPEDITE YOUR VISA AS LONG AS YOU GET YOUR PASSPORT SOON.</div>

<br />
The Our Lady of the Good Death Sisterhood Festival that takes place in Cachoeira since 1820, when Brazil was still an empire, remains a display of tradition and faith in <br />
<a name='more'></a>Bahia’s Recôncavo, 116 kilometers away from Salvador. This year, the event will last five days, from August 13 to 17th, and starts with a cortege along the streets of the historical city, a sign of mourning for the death of Our Lady. <br />
<br />
The Sisterhood of Our Lady of the Good Death is composed by a fraternity of 23 women where the requirements to become a member are being Afro-descendant and more than 50 years old. They are all united by the devotion to Our Lady. According to local historians, the fraternity was created when a group of women, former slaves, united forces to buy the freedom of other slaves in the city of Cachoeira. <br />

<br />
The Sisterhood Festival has strong syncretism features and receives influences from the Catholic Church and Candomblé, a very powerful religion in the Recôncavo. During the festivities masses are carried out at Our Lady D’Ajuda Chapel and typical dishes of the Afro-Brazilian cuisine are served. <br />
<br />
The tradition of this sisterhood was recognized as Bahia’s Immaterial Heritage last June, and they started to receive support from the state government. <br />
<br />
Our Lady of Good Death Festival attracts thousands of tourists to the city of Cachoeira, during the month of August, especially Afro-Americans that are interested in the cultural aspects of the Afro-descendant people. <br />
<br />
For those who wish to know more than the beauty of the festival, it’s also a good idea to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of this historical city. Listed by the Institute of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage (Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – Iphan), the city has a baroque architecture, besides beautiful churches with paintings and Portuguese tiles. Cachoeira also offers boat tours in Paraguaçu River, a great option for tourists who like nature. <br />

<br />
Besides the religious program, the festival will also have several local attractions, such as the samba de roda groups Dona Dalva, Filhos do Caquende, Filhos da Barragem, Filhos de Nagô and Filhos do Varre-Estrada.<br />
<br />
The Afro-baroque group Gegê-Nagô will certainly be present this year as they do since 2003, when the group was created. Formed by people from Bahia’s Recôncavo, the Gegê-Nagô will make a presentation to enrich even more this cultural manifestation. Inspired by the 1970’s group, Os Ticoãs, they will take to the stage their rhythm inspired in the drums of Candomblé, with new versions of the pioneer group. <br />
<br />
<br />

<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">But we shouldn’t deduce too much from this division. Truly, this four season pattern is only applicable to southern Brazil. Most of Brazil territory shares a two-season pattern: a rainy season (the winter) and a non-rainy one (the summer). </span></b></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">And it is the rain – not the cold – that you should equate if your destination is the Northeast, the Amazon, or even Rio de Janeiro and surroundings. Though most showers usually last no more than one hour or two, with subsequent sun reappearing, there are more persistent rainfalls, namely at regions with pronounced rainy seasons as the Amazon and the Pantanal</span></div>

Best time to go</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
</span></b><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> <b>Salvador da Bahia</b> has 50 km of brazilian top resorts with hundreds of natural swimming pools, surrounded by coconut groves: Barra, at the very city, Ondina, Rio Vermelho, Amaralina, Pituba, Armação, Corsário, Jaguaribe, Piatã, Itapoã, Stella Maris, Flamengo, Aleluia… </span> <br />
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">But Salvador da Bahia, as Rio de Janeiro, is much more than just good beaches. There is always music at the enormous straw sunshades that look over the beaches, especially in the more central beach, the Barra. </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;">Salvador da Bahia is the heart of an amazing culture, blending a strong African culture with a European one. Something that is visible in the every day life: in the musical spirit, in the exoticism of the place, in the odd cuisine of the region. <br />
<br />
Bahia (and Salvador) is anyway just a travel option. Near Salvador, or near northeastern hubs as Recife and Fortaleza, there are many other dozens (or hundreds and thousands, to be more literally) of world top beaches deserving your visit.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<b> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> <br />
Best time to travel to Bahia and other Brazilian tropical beaches <br />
</span></b> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> <br />
What's the best time to go to Salvador da Bahia, Fortaleza, Recife or other resorts near these towns (Praia do Forte, Porto Galinhas, Natal, etc.)? They all have agreeable temperatures all year round. Temperatures rarely dip below 25ºC (77ºF) or rise beyond 32 or 33ºC (90ºF). Winter temperatures are just 3-4ºC degrees below the «summer» temperatures. <br />
<br />
The factor you may equate to your travel, is the rain and the ambiance. In Salvador and Recife regions the rainy season begins around the beginning of April, and lasts three months, more or less. At Fortaleza the rain begins a little later (advanced April or May) and lasts also three months.</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> </span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> The rainy season is less popular and festive. In Bahia there is an interruption of the many daily musical and popular events. In this sense, the rainy season is the worse season to go and visit the Brazilian Northeast cost places. Anyhow, those are all year round beach places, and showers rarely last enough to spoil your travel.</span></div>

<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hotel prices and best time to visit Brazil<br />
</span> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> <br />
</span></b> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> Brazilian hotels – and the daily cost of life – are very affordable for European or North-American patterns. And the availability is not a problem either.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> </span> <br />
<div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"> But you should have into account some exceptions in your travel to Brazil:<br />
<br />
- the availability and prices of brazilian hotels are higher in Brazilian summer time (22nd December - 21st March), during which most south-americans have their holidays.<br />
<br />
- in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador da Bahia hotels are scarce and more expensive in the Carnival period.<br />
