The Centenário de Divaldo Franco: O Semeador de Estrelas (the Divaldo Franco Centenary), to be held on 1 and 2 May 2027 at the Centro de Convenções Salvador, is moving hearts across the country. The chance to pay tribute to one of the greatest voices of the Gospel and to meet caravans from different parts of the world makes this a memorable trip.
Careful preparation makes all the difference if your days in Salvador are to be wholly devoted to learning and tranquillity. The Mundo a Passeio team has gathered its main recommendations for your luggage, health and organisation.
1. Registration and documents
The congress is hosted at the Centro de Convenções Salvador, in an air-conditioned auditorium with limited capacity. Tickets are bought through the official digital platform of the Mansão do Caminho in successive batches:
- Note the minimum age of 16 set by the organisers for the main auditorium.
- Save the digital proof of purchase with the QR code on your phone and keep a printed copy in your hand luggage.
- Keep with you an official photo ID that is recent (RG or CNH) and your health insurance card or travel insurance policy.
2. The ideal luggage for the Bahian autumn
In May, Salvador has a pleasant tropical climate, with temperatures between 23 and 29 degrees Celsius and a constant sea breeze:
- Light fabrics: Cotton or linen garments keep you fresh during outdoor outings and transfers.
- A layer for indoor spaces: The air conditioning in convention centres and hotels is powerful; always bring a shawl, cardigan or light blazer for the auditorium.
- Comfortable footwear: Soft, anatomical trainers are essential for walking around the congress venues and during the guided visit to the Mansão do Caminho.
- Sun accessories: Sunglasses, a hat or cap and sunscreen for moments of contemplation along the seafront and on historical visits.
3. Health and well-being during the event
Events with many hours of lectures call for attention to hydration and eating:
- Bring a reusable water bottle to refill at the convention centre's water fountains.
- Keep medication for continuous use in your hand luggage, in sufficient quantity for every day of the trip.
- Plan light breaks for stretching between talks and make use of the rest areas.
