About this trip

Welcome to THE HEART OF BRAZIL


Bahia is an abundant land covered with long empty beaches and the most diverse forest in the world - the Mata Atlantica. Fresh springs, clean rivers and hidden waterfalls feed the Ocean which brings back rain showers     and breeze. The soil and the nature are nurturing like nowhere else.


It is home to many cultures. Indigenous tribes have been present here for centuries. Portuguese arrived in the year 1500 making Salvador their main port. Bahia became the epicentre of African religions, music and dance.    It’s a real melting-pot that Polarny calls his home nowadays.

PROGRAM

The Program has been carefully curated to foster an authentic connection to the Brazilian culture. Polarny will navigate you through a process that brings amusement, joy and relaxation.


HUMAN CONNECTION


Brazil is one of the most diverse cultures of the world and the Bahia state lays at its heart.  Numerous music genres are heard on every corner. People play, dance and connect.

So will you! Welcome to the land of samba, forró and coco. You will learn capoeira and play drums. We will go to community parties, visit local social and art projects.


We are at the Afro-Indigenous people's home.  You will learn about their heritage and beliefs. Our guides and hosts will be delighted to share their knowledge.


NATURE & FOODS


Every day we wake up to the sounds of waves. Fruity breakfasts will be awaiting you. We will drink cacao from an ecological farm, you will taste the most delicious chocolate.

You will eat healthy and organic.


You start to understand why we call this land a paradise as you hike into the Mata Atlantica, the most diverse biomass on the planet.


We will dip into waterfalls and paddle bravely in rafting boats. After resting on empty beaches, you will be in full harmony with life.


BODY, MIND & SOUL


This is your time to find the new you and get back to your balance. A palette of masseurs and therapist are at service. Relax and rest.


If you feel ready, shamanic ceremonies are awaiting you. The healers will guide you.

Need some move? Take a surfing class or join a Brazilian foot volleyball right on the beach.


We are closing with a community party. Polarny will play global sounds for us. You will go home rested and fully inspired.

Oh man, where do I begin? :) I am really falling short of words for such a brand new experience which I had with you in these holidays. From the moment we set foot on our adventure, it was a whirlwind of unforgettable experiences and cherished memories of an amazing time. Your knowledge and passion for travel were evident in every recommendation and activity you shared with us. This journey exceeded all of my expectations I can’t thank you enough for the best holiday of my life. I want to go on more trips with you, buddy. You are the best!

Rewelacyjnie spędzony czas. Wspaniali ludzie. Niesamowite doznania. Ta podróż to była rozkosz dla ciała i ducha. Mike z Anią przenieśli nas w inny wymiar możliwości w jaki można zwiedzić i poczuć Brazylię. Myślę, że to dopiero początek poznawania świata z tym cudownym duetem 🥰. Dziękuję za to, że Was poznałam i za to, że tak wspaniale zarażacie swoją pasją i energią 😘.

This trip was absolutely amazing and so incredibly well curated. My husband and I got to explore Cuba in all its beauty from the perspective of a local, and we couldn't have asked for a more in-depth experience than that! Thank you Mike and your team for curating a beautiful experience, we will highly recommend you to others!

A carefully curated group of some 25 CEOs entrepreneurs, inventors, engineers and artists is not your average tour group. Fortunately Sound Traveler is not your average tour company! Mike Polarney's artfully constructed and beautifully executed tour managed the impossible - to herd this wayward and unruly bunch across large swathes of Cuba without ever making us feel herded. Mike has perfected the art of leading from behind. He quietly manages to steer and direct a group, like a patient sheep-dog following behind, rounding up stragglers without any apparent stress or strain. The tour was beautifully organized. Full day trips to the countryside, eco-farms and tobacco plantations, were leavened by short visits to galleries, art installations and music events. Strenuous days had stops at a beach or a health spa built in. The food we were given was superb and, as befits the name of the company, every evening ended with the glorious sounds of Cuban music. Mike himself is a musician and his deep contacts with the Cuban music scene meant that we got to meet many Cuban musicians and hear the best of the best of Cuban music. Another hugely impressive feature of this tour... we had not one but four charismatic and deeply knowledgeable guides with us at all times. Katia, Rioger, Leo and Rainier were not only our guides, they became our friends, and hugely added to the quality of our Havana experience. I cannot speak too highly of Mike and Sound Traveler. If you want a real insider's look at this complex, beautiful and much misunderstood country this is the way to go! Jon Amiel LA Feb 2020

This was the most memorable trip, in a one of a kind place, hosted by the loveliest people and traveling with the best group imaginable. Muchas Gracias querido Miguelito and to the rest of the Hatchers who made this such an amazing adventure.
