Brazil's The Northeast
Recife
This delightful capital of the Pernambuco State is home to just over 3.2 million people. A bustling metropolis 829km north of Salvador resonates a spirit born halfway between that of the modern south and the traditional northeastern centers, Recife offers unique insight in both the charming past of Brazil as well as the colorful future.
Visit the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Olinda, where artists display their canvases on easels behind the iron barred windows of well preserved colonial homes, or experience the unique textures of this intriguing city. Be sure to explore Recife’s many delightful flavors, as this is Brazil’s third largest gastronomic center.
