Pernambuco - Brasil

Pernambuco is located near to The Atlantic, in the northwest part of Brazil.

This State played an important part in the history of Brazil, particularly, during The XVII Century, in the period of the sugar cane.
Its current population is: 7.918.344 hab.

Pernambuco has a privileged geographic position, in terms of its proximity to Europe; such fact makes this State an entrance for international tourism.

The State possesses many folkloric expressions, like its dances and different rhythms (maracatu, cuadrilla, ciranda and fandango).

The capital city of Pernambuco is Recife, a modern city, plenty of high buildings and ample avenues.

The ideal period to visit Pernambuco is on February, when the most stimulating carnival of Brazil takes place. This celebration occurs in the streets of Olinda, a colonial city that is placed 7 kilometers from Recife.

Eco tourism by boat is recommendable in the zone, specially, through the archipelago and The Marine National Park of Fernando de Noronha.

Island of Itamaracá
Ruinas of Vila Velha and Fuerte Orange
Park Historic of Guararapes
Cabo of Santo Agostinho
