Recife is located in the North East of Brazil and is a modern city situated on the Atlantic Coast. Recife is a progressive city where as Olinda, a few kilometres north, has retained its charming Colonial heritage.

Olinda is a World Heritage Site and old capital founded in 1537. It is a charming place to wander along the winding cobbled streets, browsing and exploring the boutique shops and handicraft stalls. The restoration of the town is improving every corner of Olinda and the ornate Portuguese constructed churches are little hidden gems to discover. Combine culture in Olinda with a few days relaxing on a golden sandy beach.
