Brazil’s North East coast is over a 1,000 miles in length, blending UNESCO colonial architecture, stunning sand dunes, and vibrant African-Brazilian cultures.
Coastal towns such as Porto Seguro, the Marau Peninsula, or the hidden beaches of Caraiva invite the traveller to relax and enjoy golden beaches and tropical seas.
The city of Salvador, with its colonial buildings and rich history as well as colourful folklore is a great introduction to the region, as is Recife.
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park features vast white sand dunes filled with crystal-clear seasonal rainwater pools. Kite and windsurfers love Jericoacoara, and surfers Praia da Pipa.
Much is made of Brazil’s beaches, and this zone showcases some of the best.
