Day Trip Details

After picking you up at your hotel in Porto de Galinhas between 7:30 and 8:30 am, we'll head north to Recife, with a minibus ride lasting about an hour and a half.

Our first stop will be at Boa Viagem beach. Enjoy the views of the bay, with some free time available for a catamaran ride on the Capibaribe River, a waterway contributing to Recife’s nickname as the Brazilian Venice.

Next, we’ll head to Praça Rio Branco, known as Marco Zero, where we will discuss its historical significance as the city’s founding point.

Following this, we’ll take a guided tour of the main attractions of Recife, including Rua dos Judeus, the exterior of the Kahal Zur Israel Synagogue, the Embassy of Giant Puppets, the House of Culture, and the Open-Air Museum ruins.

We will subsequently leave Recife to visit Olinda, a World Heritage Site protected by Unesco. You may choose to stroll through the old town or walk up to Alto da Sé for panoramic views of the city and its significant monuments, including the churches of Sé and Misericórdia.

The tour concludes with a drop-off at your hotel between 6:30 and 7:30 pm.
