Reserve your spot on the Capoeira Camp Salvador da Bahia (2 weeks) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive rested for morning sessions
Many classes start early in the garden or on the beach—get a good night’s sleep to handle explosive movements and prevent injury.
Hydration is non‑negotiable
Bring a reusable water bottle and drink before and after sessions; humid coastal air raises sweat rates even during light drills.
Protect skin and instruments from sun
Use reef‑safe sunscreen for beach training and a hat between sessions to avoid sunburn and fatigue.
Respect local rhythms and etiquette
Learn basic berimbau and clapping patterns before joining rodas—musical timing matters and hosts appreciate cultural awareness.
Breathable training clothes
Lightweight shirt and shorts for agility during garden and beach sessions.
