Would you like to discover two true gems of northeastern Brazil? On this day trip to Recife and Olinda, we’ll enjoy the many charms of two cities rich in history and heritage.
After picking you up from your hotel in Porto de Galinhas at the indicated time, we’ll head north to Olinda, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
We’ll take a walk through its historic center and discover all the charms of this colonial city, founded in 1535. We’ll explore its streets, filled with convents, monasteries, baroque churches, and colorful houses that will captivate you from start to finish.
Next, we’ll head up to Alto da Sé, the highest point in the city. From the top, we’ll enjoy an incredible panoramic view of the city and its main landmarks, such as the Sé and Misericórdia churches.
We’ll return to the minibus and leave Olinda behind as we head toward Recife, the capital of Pernambuco. This 16th-century city, crossed by different rivers and bathed by the sea, is known as the City of Waters. Ready to explore it?
To begin, we’ll take a guided tour that will allow us to enjoy the main highlights of Recife. We’ll walk through Arsenal, one of the most important squares in the Old Town. We’ll also explore Rua dos Judeus, considered one of the most beautiful streets in the world, see the exterior of the Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue, and visit the Embassy of the Giant Puppets.
After that, we’ll head to Rio Branco Square, also known as Marco Zero. We’ll explain the historical importance of this site as the founding point of the city. We’ll continue the route, admiring the crafts displayed at the House of Culture and learn about Recife’s urban development by visiting the ruins of the Open-Air Museum.
Our final stop of the day will be at Boa Viagem Beach. We’ll enjoy the views of this bay and, if you’d like, you’ll have free time to take a catamaran ride along the Capibaribe River. Did you know that this waterway is what has earned Recife the nickname of the Brazilian Venice?
Finally, we’ll leave Recife behind and end the day trip by dropping you back at your hotel 7 hours later.
This tour includes pickup from hotels located in the following areas of Porto de Galinhas: Muro Alto, Praia do Cupe, Merepe, Maracaípe, and central Porto de Galinhas. If your accommodation is not located in one of these areas, we’ll contact you to provide an alternative meeting point.
