Pernambuco

A state of culture and islands in northeastern Brazil, with the colonial town of Olinda, Recife and the Fernando de Noronha archipelago each offering their own appeal.

Pernambuco lies on Brazil's northeastern Atlantic coast, with a long colonial history and a rich culture of folk music and dance. The capital, Recife, is a city of rivers and bridges, and neighboring Olinda, a colonial old town, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; Carnival in both cities is lively and spectacular. Porto de Galinhas on the southern coast is famous for its natural reef pools, while the offshore Fernando de Noronha archipelago is a marine protected area with clear water, ideal for diving and dolphin watching. The tropical climate is warm all year, and September to March is relatively dry. The gateway is Recife International Airport; Noronha requires a separate flight.
