Pernambuco Essentials

Pernambuco’s landscape spans from the coral-fringed natural pools of Porto de Galinhas to the 16th-century Portuguese colonial architecture of Olinda’s UNESCO-listed hills. In Recife, the state’s cultural identity is preserved through interactive museums dedicated to Frevo and the Sertão, the first synagogue in the Americas, and the Ricardo Brennand Institute’s medieval-style armory. These sites highlight the region's Dutch and Portuguese history, the artistic legacy of Francisco Brennand, and the transformation of 19th-century structures into hubs for regional craftsmanship.

Best Beaches in Pernambuco

Pernambuco’s coastline is defined by a massive coral reef system that creates shallow natural pools at low tide. This selection spans from the urban reefs of Recife’s Boa Viagem and Pina to the coconut groves of Praia dos Carneiros. It includes high-energy surfing breaks like Maracaípe and Cupe, alongside the estuary environments of Barra do Sirinhaém and Guadalupe. These shores feature a mix of 18th-century colonial landmarks, such as the Chapel of Saint Benedict, and protected marine ecosystems.
