I have 6 days (full days, I’m not counting travel days) to spend in Brazil and really want to see both Salvador and Rio.

Any recommendations on how much time to spend in each? 3x3, 4x2 etc?

A little about myself, I’m a mixed black American (mom is African). Have always been fascinated in Brazilian culture in general. Salvador really appeals to me especially because of the Afro-Brazilian history.

But, also, I’ll be coming from an ice climbing/mountaineering trip in Bolivia. So, it would be fun to also just party and enjoy easy access nice beaches with reasonable safety (by Brazilian standards, I know you have to plan a little for this no matter what). I gather Rio is better for this?

Thanks in advance!
