Circuits, hotels, excursions and transfers in Recife.
Recife, the capital of Pernambuco, is a river-and-bridge port city paired with the UNESCO-listed colonial town of Olinda on the hill above it. Together they offer strong cultural touring — baroque churches, the restored Recife Antigo district and a lively frevo and maracatu tradition — alongside the urban beaches of Boa Viagem. The city is also the gateway to Porto de Galinhas, one of the Northeast's most popular reef-and-beach resorts to the south.
Warm and tropical year-round. The wetter season runs roughly March to July, while spring and early summer (September–February) are drier and sunnier. Carnival in Olinda and Recife, built on frevo and maracatu, is among Brazil's most distinctive and falls in February or March.
Recife handles congresses and incentives, with a convention centre in the Olinda–Recife area and a solid base of business and beach hotels along Boa Viagem. As one of the Northeast's main hubs, it is well suited to mid-to-large conventions as well as incentive groups.
Signature rewards include natural-pool boat trips at Porto de Galinhas, frevo and maracatu performances, gala evenings in historic Olinda and beach-club events on Boa Viagem. Cultural depth gives incentive programmes a distinctive local flavour.
Guararapes–Gilberto Freyre International (REC) is one of the Northeast's best-connected gateways, with domestic links and seasonal international and European flights. It sits close to Boa Viagem, around 10–12 km, with Olinda and Porto de Galinhas within easy road transfers.
Two to three nights suit a city-and-culture stay, longer with a beach extension. Recife combines with Natal, Fortaleza and Salvador on a Northeast circuit and with Porto de Galinhas for beach add-ons. Strong fit for European and regional markets.
Recommended stay: 2–3 nights, more with Porto de Galinhas.
