Market-in-Cachoeira

Shortly after the flight to Salvador Bahia we took a trip to Cachoeira. Rich with history of the sugar cane, during Brazil’s Colonial Era, it retains much of a rich African culture.

Horses and hitched donkeys (once a bull pulling a cart) were often the only means of transport.
