The River Capiberibe flows slowly towards the sea, forming a delta with numerous islands and peninsulas, where Recife, one of Brazil’s foremost cities and capital of the state of Pernambuco was built. With around two million inhabitants, Recife is one of the major centres of the North-east region for commerce and tourism. Its beaches basking in the sun, its churches dating from colonial days and the picturesque bridges are just some of the features that contribute to its unique charm and appeal.

It is easy to imagine sipping an iced coconut water, enjoying a mango juice on crushed ice, trying the exotic native tropical fruits such as graviola, sapodilla and pitomba, or delighting in the typical local cuisine that only a native chef knows how to make. And that is not all! Not far from Recife is Olinda, a town colonized by the Portuguese in 1535, invaded and burned down by the Dutch in 1630 and noted for its colonial architecture and magnificent beaches; there is also Caruaru with its craft market as well as baroque churches bearing witness to the region’s rich colonial heritage. An excursion not to be missed by Brazilians and foreigners alike.
