When is the best time to go?
From May to October, in Salvador, there are heavy rains, after which the most climatically favorable period for visiting the country begins - from November to April. It should be borne in mind that in late December - early January, resorts are filled with vacationers who come to celebrate Christmas and New Year (mainly by Americans), which affects prices.
