10 days in Recife Itinerary

Once the capital of Dutch Brazil, Recife has a history spanning back to 1537, when it was little more than a handful of fishing houses on the beach.

Get out of town with these interesting Recife side-trips: Praia dos Carneiros (in Tamandare), Porto de Galinhas (Casa Jerimum, Vila de Porto de Galinhas Beach, &more) and Lookout Stone of Cogomelo (in Cabo de Santo Agostinho). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Ricardo Brennand Institute, take in the spiritual surroundings of Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue, enjoy the sand and surf at Boa Viagem Beach, and buy something for everyone on your list at RioMar Recife Mall.
