Reserve your spot on the Capoeira Camp Salvador da Bahia (1 week) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Hydrate for heat and motion
Bring a large, reusable water bottle and sip frequently—sessions are sweaty and often outdoors.
Barefoot-ready feet

Protect from sun
Morning and beach trainings can be sunny—use sunscreen and a brimmed hat between sessions.
Learn the music
Spend time with the berimbau and atabaque lessons—music sets timing and keeps you in the roda.
Lightweight training clothes
Allows freedom of movement during acrobatics and kicks.
Reusable water bottle
Staying hydrated is essential during repeated sessions in warm weather.
Thin training socks & foot-care kit
Useful for recovery and to treat hotspots after barefoot training.
