Brazil · Pernambuco

Pernambuco: Recife culture, warm coast, islands and Sertão.

Pernambuco compresses an unusual amount of Brazil into one state: Recife and Olinda for music and history, Porto de Galinhas for reef beaches, Fernando de Noronha for marine nature, Petrolina for the São Francisco Valley and Catimbau or Caruaru for a very different inland Northeast.

State overview

Pernambuco

The coast is easy to understand as one travel zone, but the state becomes more interesting when you add the Agreste or Sertão. Long inland transfers and the flight logistics of Fernando de Noronha mean these experiences should be combined selectively rather than forced into one short itinerary.
