If you're looking for a family-friendly vacation with plenty of water attractions, Beach Park should be your top choice. With four hotels and an expansive waterslide park, this resort has something for everyone. Insano, the world's tallest water slide, is definitely a highlight for thrill seekers; while those looking to relax can enjoy the lazy rivers and sauna.
Going to the Beach Park in Fortaleza is an experience that I would recommend across the board. They are one of the largest water parks in the world with attractions that span the range from low to extreme intensity. I’ve had the opportunity to go there a few times as a child and went again now as an adult and it was just as fun as I remembered.
Good:
1 - Excellent service. Employees are polite and knowledgeable.
2 - Lot’s of food options.
3 - Queues are not too long.
4 - Several options of attractions.
5 - Great layout with distribution of food/beverage kiosks, high/low intensity rides and pools distributed throughout.
6 - Easy access from hotel complexes.
To Improve:
1 - The power went out when I was there. It took around 10 minutes for the attraction I was at to normalize. This is lack of proper engineering or configuration of the backup systems. A diesel generator should kick-in and stabilize within 1 minute of a power outage. Moreover, given that power to the attractions is essential to the proper operation of the park, they should have a UPS battery backup to sustain the park for a duration long enough for generators to kick in.
2 - The meat/bacon burger at the Beach Burger kiosk was bad. Dry and hard. Almost inedible. The chicken option was much better.
3 - A few attractions were closed. I understand this can happen. However, this needs to be informed extremely well to park goers. Ideally in a language that humanizes the situation. “Sorry, our pump is sick today but the attraction will be up in x days”.
4 - The lazy river was weaker than I expected. There were less pumps on?
5 - The Hupa/Hopa was not doing the water discharge to speed up the attraction as it used to.
6 - No way to keep track of time when around park since there are no clocks. Add some?
Even though I am giving the park a 5-star review, I hope that the feedback can be put to use. If Beach Park plans on becoming “the Disney of Brazil” nothing short of perfect is enough.

Nice water park that's FUN for everyone. Not all the rides were open but still an enjoyable time. About $45 Admission with about $5 for a locker. You can find parking nearby in an open lot on the left side as you approach the entrance for about $2. There's also "Beach Park" parking available but not sure of the price. Inside the park you can purchase a "Food Package" option or choose to eat at the facilities inside or outside of the park area.

The beach park offers a vast expanse with a wide array of activities suitable for a diverse age range spanning from three-year-olds to those in their sixties. Our visit to the park took place on a weekend, and despite the large crowd, waiting times for most activities were surprisingly short. Safety was a top priority, evident in the presence of numerous vigilant lifeguards stationed throughout the park. They were extremely dedicated to their roles. Personally, my most exhilarating experience was the "Insano," which provided a thrilling adrenaline rush.

Worst money ever spent. The park is not organised, where you have to queue for EVERYTHING. Ticket and towel purchase are in two different places, there isn’t enough staff for a day that wasn’t even busy, where you’re waiting for a long time to get an overpriced meal. The park doesn’t offer fast track for any attraction and there’s no guidance or maps you can use during the day. Waste of money and time.
Rafael — Google review
Super fun huge huge huge place, too much for one day. 26th december, crowded but everything went fast. After fast entering, there was a second line for buying credit and locker but went smooth. Food was all on credit that you have to buy in advance and locker is optional. Soo, no walking with money (locker).
Lots of security and everywhere strict lifeguards. Only minus is there isn't allot of seatings, everywhere full. Some people were very friendly to share or leave your belongings with them. But still keep an eye on your stuffs. Just walking with your towel was enough, the rest you leave at your locker.
Also, floor very hot, so don't forget your slippers or watershoes. The rids were very busy, wait in lines but went well after your wait.
ALL, very nice very hugh very attractive especially wild ride and tons of fun for the kids.... learn the portugese!!!

I insist anybody visiting Brazil go to this beach park it is amazing. We stayed at these condos right next to the beach park. They were beautiful. It had a nice quiet, swimming pool. The beach Park and condos are a perfect place for family to visit.
If you want to stay at the condos, use google maps and search town houses II.

A really fun place to visit but very busy and there were long queues for everything, including food outlets. We only managed 4 rides in the entire time we were there. It is only open from 11am to 5 pm. 5 stars if we went on a quiet day!

I'll never travel to Ipojuca without this trip planner again
The Natural Monument of Beberibe Cliffs is a breathtaking stretch of protected cliffs and dunes that offer stunning views of the beach. This geological paradise is a must-visit for enthusiasts, although it's advisable to research the rock formation beforehand as local guides may lack knowledge in this area. Arriving early in the morning is recommended to avoid crowds from tours later in the day. The site boasts a wonderful story and visitors can enjoy the humorous and lively commentary of tour guide Wesley.
Absolutely stunning.
If you are interested in geology, this is paradise but I suggest you read about the rocks formation before you visit because local guides often don't know much about the geological formation of the area.
Also, try to get there early in the morning as it is full of tours from 11 onwards.
Highly recommended

If you want a day of admiring natural beauty, take a tour to this place! The natural occuring cliffs offer beautiful pictures, hiking, and exploration. The tour, consisting of a Portuguese speaking guide, takes about 40 minutes and involves walking through a small market area in which they really try to sell you on projects created by the sand. The guide will pose you in many, many, places and take photos at different angles looking for a bigger tip at the end of the tour. If possible, take the dune buggy tour, as it allows you to see even more of the landscape!

(Translated by Google) Ponta Grossa beach in Icapuí is a great option for those who like more reserved/calmer beaches. The place is beautiful and there is an incredible sunset over the dunes! In the restaurant, which is located very close to the beach, there is the option of a buggy and quad bike ride. The Buggy tour includes several beaches in the region and takes more than two hours, ending in the dunes; The tour costs on average 200/250 reais (Cash and debit/credit card payments accepted). The company I took the tour with was Canaã Turismo and the buggy driver was super attentive.

O passeio de Buggy contempla várias praia da região e são mais de duas horas de passeio, finalizando nas dunas; o passeio custa em média 200/250 reais( Aceita pagamentos a vista e no cartão de débito/crédito).

(Translated by Google) It has natural pools, but with rocks, a good walk with beautiful landscapes, a lot of algae on the beach can have a bad smell, but only for a small space before Ponta Grossa beach.
It's best to take a buggy ride for up to 3 hours in the morning, and if it's low tide you can go along the beaches.
There is no place close to the beach with infrastructure that offers shops, restaurants, swimming pools...

Tem piscinas naturais, porém com pedras, bom passeio com belas paisagens, muitas algas na praia podem ter mau cheiro, mas apenas por um pequeno espaço antes da praia de Ponta Grossa.

(Translated by Google) A place with exuberant nature, where you can observe dunes at the seaside, cliffs, reefs and the view provided by the movement of the tides. When the tide is low, if we head to the right, we can access Redonda beach. In Ponta Grossa you have options for restaurants, accommodation, buggy rides, quad bike rides, among other things. I had the opportunity to have lunch, and the fish was very well served and at a fair price. Very good place to spend a weekend.

(Translated by Google) I loved the beach. A paradisiacal and preserved place. There we find lobster skewers and boat trips where they take us to see the fish. Just one observation: Take this tour at 8..9 am, as when the tide is high the tour is not good. We get hurt because of the corals, we swallow a lot of water and the guides encourage us to do it late, but it's not comfortable or safe for us. I have both black arms and back, because I was injured, and my toe was cut.

Amei a praia. Um lugar paradisíaco e preservado. Nela a gente encontra espetiNho de lagosta e passeios de barco onde nos levam p ver os peixinhos. Só uma observação : Façam esse passeio 8..9 hs da manha, pois qdo a maré enche não fica legal o passeio. A gente se machuca, por conta dos corais, a gente engole bastante agua e os guias ficam incentivando a gente a fazê-lo em horários tarde , mas que não fica confortável e seguro p gente.

(Translated by Google) Main church of the diocese of Patos. It is located in the city center. There is air conditioning on site. The space can accommodate many people, as there are several wooden benches typical of churches. The seats are not comfortable, especially for those who suffer from some type of spinal disease. The church staff were very kind and welcoming. I don't usually attend the Cathedral Church, I attended a Confirmation mass recently. Inside there are many beautiful paintings created by the painter José Lima.

(Translated by Google) In the year 1752, the lands previously occupied by indigenous people and which had been donated to the Oliveira Ledo family, which became sesmarias, in the condition of occupying them, with the colonizers' main activities being cattle breeding and having possession of the Patos and Pedra Branca, captain Paulo Mendes de Figueiredo and his wife Maria Teixeira de Melo donated part of these lands to Nossa Senhora Da Guia. The construction of the chapel only took place in 1772, when the parish of Bom Sucesso was incorporated. from Pombal.

(Translated by Google) Well, the church depends on the believer, logically. From the simplest to the most pompous in terms of structure. The one in Patos is pompous, paintings of excellent quality, in addition to the presence of the Bishop, presiding over the mass or sacrament.

Dozens of enormous boulders scattered on a plateau with panoramic views over an arid landscape.
Not gonna find views like this anywhere else!
Wojciech Banasik — Google review
First, this is a difficult place to visit. A group guide is required, that is available only at the fazeda (hotel) near the entrance. Secondly, know that reaching the hotel involves driving about 45 minutes on rough gravel roads. The tour is set-time, staring at 4:00 PM and ending after dark. Thus you are driving back to the paved road on dark gravel roads.
Now for the tour. The group will walk a couple of miles with a serious incline. This is not mountain climbing, but rigorous for old and fat people. The group stops at various location to observe the "Flintstones" terrain. There are indeed odd rocks, massive boulders scattered about. Nothing comparable in the USA. The end of the walk is on top, with a perfect view of the surrounding valley and sunset. Take lots of photos.
Tnis is highly recommended, if the logistics are not too scary. Oh, if you want you can eat and lodge at the hotel. This will avoid the nighttime drive back across the unpaved roads.

(Translated by Google) I've lost count of how many times I've been to this place and it's always incredible. At night we could see all the stars in the sky. The time I most recommend is sunset, which is simply fantastic.
You buy the ticket at the reception of the Pai Mateus hotel (which is about 12km from the city) and go to the location with your car at the scheduled time and they will send a local guide for information. The cost of the tour is R$40 per person and is well worth it. I also recommend calling ahead to find out more about how it's working.
Take your cell phone charging for the photos 😍
At sunset the stones turn orange colors and it looks beautiful.

Já perdi as contas de quantas vezes fui a este lugar e é sempre incrível. A noite conseguimos ver todas as estrelas no céu. O horário que mais recomendo é o por do sol que é simplesmente fantástico.
Você compra a entrada na recepção do hotel Pai Mateus (que fica a uns 12km da cidade) e segue para o local com seu carro no horário marcado e eles enviam um guia local para as informações. O valor do passeio é R$40 por pessoa e vale muito a pena. Também recomendo ligar antes para se informar melhor de como está funcionando.

This place is very good to recreation , and to visitation
John K Torres — Google review
They only offer 1 sample for their cachaça range and it was very disappointing as we were expecting to try at least a couple or 3 of them to decide which ones to buy. I have been told that in past you had the option to do exactly that and actually try multiple samples of different types of cachaça. I am giving 3 stars instead of 2 just because the place looks pretty and instagrammable, although not worth the 25 reais entry fee.

Nice place to visit and see production of chachaca. Some samples are provided for the $R10 admission. The tour was poorly organized. Nice lake with boats there! There are vendors lining the road before entry to the engenho, so beware of them before you do the tour. Ice cream was different.

(Translated by Google) The shore is great for playing sports, although on the shore in front of the São Vicente Institute, after the Bible memorial, it is very deserted, unattractive, they even removed a great restaurant that was there.
Another negative point is the fact that the reservoir is very dirty, some days the odor of sewage and rotten fish is felt on the East and West banks.
(Original)
A orla é ótima para praticar esportes, embora na margem em frente ao Instituto São Vicente, após o memorial da Bíblia, é bem deserta, sem atrativos, inclusive removeram um ótimo restaurante que havia lá.
Outro ponto negativo é o fato de o Açude ser bem sujo, alguns dias o odor de esgoto e peixe podre é sentido nas margens Leste e Oeste.

Ingá stone - PB
Archaeological site
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
A place with a lot of historical value and barely nobody knows about... Simple but totally worth visiting
Aku Rosenqvist — Google review
The Ingá Stone is located in the middle of the Ingá River in the small Brazilian city of Ingá (know you know how it got its name). What is it? It’s a rock formation that is covered with petroglyphs (or stone picture carvings). The prehistoric carvings were done over time and the most recent additions may have been added as recently as the 18th Century—all done by local native tribes.
The meaning and/or purpose of these carvings is unknown and undeciphered. Some of the carvings resemble animals, fruits, the Orion Constellation and other less-easily distinguishable figures.
The carvings are also known as the Itacoatiara do Ingá (pronounced: “EEta- cwa – tiara”), which is the name in the Tupi language of the original natives. “Ita” means stone and “coatiara” means picture.
This is not the only such site with carvings in this part of Brazil, but it is one of the biggest. Still, when we visited, there was nobody here. The northeast of Brazil is less-visited by tourists than the south; this site sits 100 kilometers (60 miles) from the capital of the state, so that also contributes to the lack of tourism, but that’s good for you if you do go!
To get there, the roads aren’t bad and you can find it on your Waze or Google Maps. I was really impressed with this site and I was very glad I visited. If you’re anywhere near here, you really should come visit.

(Translated by Google) A place of biodiversity and enormous geoecological importance, the inscriptions date back to the Neolithic era, where the Phoenician civilization and the Inca people lived here. It is worth visiting as there are areas to have a snack and rest under the trees! There's a little shop with items to sell and a museum that charges 5 reais to visit! (Just the museum) The park is free and it is ADM by the city hall!

Caruaru Shopping is an indoor mall that offers a wide selection of shops, services, and amenities. It houses a bowling alley, cinema, and food court. One can conveniently pay bills at the bank located within the facility. The mall boasts a diverse range of clothing stores, although specific brands may be missing. A variety of restaurants serving different cuisines can also be found. Additionally, Caruaru Shopping provides a pleasant atmosphere and an array of options typically found only in larger malls.
This mall is incredible, it has several stores to buy things, it's a great place to spend your time, there's a food court that's delicious, the food there is delicious, there are security guards who roam the entire mall, and the parking lot is only 11 .00 and very safe.

Av. Adjar da Silva Casé, 800 - Indianópolis, Caruaru - PE, 55024-740, Brazil
(Translated by Google) Every route is very beautiful:
1- During the trail you will also find very beautiful houses and lodgings.
2- After the first climb you will find a gentleman who sells a spectacular sugarcane juice. The best I've ever had. Even the ice itself is made from sugarcane juice.
3- Both the residents of the city, Bezerros, and the residents around the mountains are very friendly.
4- There is also a bus that goes up to a cultural space where there is a great restaurant. When you leave this cultural space, you walk another 3km until you actually arrive at the Ecological Park. Be careful that the last time the bus brings you back is around 15:30. If you get lost, you will have to be lucky to find a ride, as there is no other transport service. I was informed that on Saturdays, due to the local bars, there is the possibility of finding Vans after 6pm that can transport you back to the city.
5- The ecological park has many good areas to take pictures. Beware that there are some undergrowth that can cut. There is a lot of green and in some places you can feel the humid air.
6- The whole route starting from the initial plate until reaching the ecological park would classify as moderate level. I had to stop a few times to get some rest.
7- According to my Amazfit, the total traveled: 16.41 km.
Hope this helps. Sorry if I didn't provide as much information, as it was my first trail.
(Original)
Todo percurso é muito bonito:
1- Durante a trilha você encontra também casas e hospedagens muito bonitas.
2- Após a primeira subida você encontra um senhor que vende um caldo de cana espetacular. O melhor que já tomei. Inclusive o próprio gelo é feito de caldo de cana.
3- Tanto os moradores da cidade, Bezerros, quanto os moradores em torno da serra são muito simpáticos.
4- Há também um ônibus que sobe até um espaço cultural em que há um restaurante ótimo. Ao te deixar nesse espaço cultural, você caminha mais uns 3km até chegar de fato no Parque Ecológico. Cuidado que o último horário em que o ônibus trás de volta é por volta das 15h30. Se perder será necessário contar com a sorte em encontrar carona, pois não há outro serviço de transporte. Fui informado que aos sábados, por conta dos bares locais, há a possibilidade de encontrar Vans após às 18h que podem te transportar de volta para a cidade.
5- O parque ecológico têm muitas áreas boas para tirar fotografias. Cuidado que há algumas vegetações rasteiras que podem cortar. Há muito verde e em alguns trechos dá para sentir aquele ar mais úmido.
6- Todo percurso começando da placa inicial até chegar no parque ecológico classificaria como nível moderado. Precisei parar algumas vezes para descansar um pouco.
7- Segundo minha Amazfit o total percorrido: 16,41Km.
Espero ter ajudado. Desculpem se não forneci tantas informações, pois foi minha primeira trilha.

(Translated by Google) There is no more signage in place. It's a quiet trail, which you can do alone - basically just go around the hill, with some entrances to see the viewpoints (carambola, coconut tree, and others that I don't remember the name of right now), but there are no signs to tell you which way to go. the tourist must follow. We were lucky to find a large group that had already done the trail and already knew the way, and helped us find the exit - because we had given up on going down the last steps of the trail because we didn't know if it was the right way, and also because it was quite strange... the Serra Negra region still has a lot to grow in terms of tourism.
(Original)
Falta mais sinalização no lugar. É uma trilha tranquila, que você consegue fazer sozinho - basicamente é só dar a volta no morro, com umas entradas para ver os mirantes (carambola, coqueiro, e outros que não lembro o nome agora), mas falta placas para dizer o caminho que o turista deve seguir. Demos sorte de encontrar um grupo grande que já tinha feito a trilha e já conhecia o caminho, e nos ajudou a encontrar a saída - porque a gente tinha desistido de descer os últimos degraus da trilha por não saber se era o caminho certo, e também porque estava bastante esquisito... a região de serra negra ainda tem muito pra crescer em turismo.

(Translated by Google) It has a nice view, but I found it very simple, the biggest attraction in Serra Negra must be São João, as the park itself is very limited.

(Translated by Google) I was there on 03/20. The place is beautiful, but the water on the beach was boiling, and perhaps for that reason there were a lot of jellyfish in the place. At first I thought it was plastic because the beach was a little dirty (disposable cup in the water, snack packaging, etc.). But when I saw several seals very close to me, I immediately got out of the water (I didn't even spend 5 minutes in the water). I mentioned it to a couple who were on the beach with some children and they spent a long time in the water and said they didn't see it. However, at the end of the day they commented that they saw jellyfish. I decided to just stay in the chair, facing the sea, despite the very hot day, there was a good “freezing” wind. Some time later I asked a man how the water temperature was and he was saying that it was very hot but that he was getting out of the water because he had seen jellyfish.
Furthermore, the beach has a lot of algae that accumulates in the shallowest part. For those who like bathing, at least on that day, I didn't have such a good experience. It was worth it just for the view and tranquility.
(Original)
Estive no local dia 20/03. O lugar é bonito, mas a água da praia estava fervendo, e talvez por esse motivo estava com muitas águas vivas no local. A princípio pensei que eram plásticos pois a praia estava um pouco suja (copo descartável na água, embalagem de salgadinho, etc). Mas quando vi várias juntas bem perto de mim, sai logo da água (não passei nem 5 minutos na água). Comentei com um casal que estava na praia com algumas crianças e eles ficaram bastante tempo na água e comentaram que não viram. Porém ao final do dia comentaram que viram uma água viva. Decidi ficar apenas na cadeira, de frente pro mar, apesar do dia bem quente, apresentava um bom vento “gelado”. Algum tempo depois perguntei a um senhor como estava a temperatura da água e ele tava dizendo que estava muito quente mas que estava saindo da água por ter visto águas vivas.
Além disso a praia tem muita alga que se acumula na parte mais rasa. Pra quem gosta de banho, pelo menos nesse dia, não tive uma experiência tão boa. Valeu só pela vista e tranquilidade.

(Translated by Google) Beach with calm waters.
The biggest movement around is the catamarans that bring tourists to the fort, and the speedboats that take tourists to the crown of the plane. Everything else is very peaceful. Tourists can visit the fort and have a good meal there. I recommend Sister Gicelia's restaurant, which is a restaurant that offers parking – free of charge – as well as a fresh water bath and Wi-Fi. Well-organized beachfront restaurant, clean bathrooms, attentive service and well-prepared meals. Fair price for the service they offer.
I recommend spending the day there.

Praia de águas tranquilas.
O movimento maior por ai é dos catamarãs que trazem turistas ao forte, e as lanchas que levam os turistas até a coroa do avião.

Recomendo o restaurante da Irmã Gicelia, que é um restaurante que oferece estacionamento – sem cobrar –além de banho de água doce e wi-fi. Restaurante de beira de praia bem organizado, banheiros limpos, atendimento atencioso e refeições bem feitas. Preço justo pelo serviço que oferecem.
Recomendo passar o dia por ai.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and peaceful island. Access is by boats and rafts leaving from Itamaracá or Maria Farinha. The journey is peaceful and the view is wonderful. On the island there are bars, hammocks in the sea and you can walk to the tip of the island. I suggest you take a look before choosing where to stay, the prices are different and the service is the same. We ordered the dish with fish and side dishes, average 100.00 and it was delicious. The beer was hot, but they placed a cooler with ice on the table. We only started receiving good service after a complaint. I would go back and recommend it, apart from the hassle due to the dispute between the establishments on the beach.

Ilha lindíssima e sossegada. O acesso é feito por barcos e jangadas saindo de Itamaracá ou Maria Farinha. O trajeto é tranquilo e o visual maravilhoso. Na Ilha existem bares, redes no mar e dá pra caminhar até a ponta da ilha. Sugiro que dê uma olhada antes de escolher onde ficar, os preços são diferentes e o atendimento idem. Pedimos o prato com peixe e acompanhamentos, média 100,00 e estava gostoso. A cerveja estava quente, mas colocaram um ispor com gelo na mesa. Só começamos a ser bem atendidos após uma reclamação. Voltaria e recomendo, tirando essa chateação por conta da disputa entre os estabelecimentos na praia.

The location seems surreal and the composition of art, architecture and landscape is stunning.
Don't miss the sketches and paintings, they are of excellent quality and show the diversity of Brennands work. The idea to show so many works of a single artist in a place designed and developed by himself creates an unique atmosphere.
Visiting this place felt like diving into another world... definitive a must-visit in Recife!

Nice collection but completely unorganized in any thematic or chronological way. Even the main exhibition of Dutch presence in Brazil is mixed with random pieces of sculpture and porcelain. Most of the pieces lack information or they are too small printed. Even more shocking is the text praising the Dutch colonization as a positive thing. The collection needs a good and critical curatorship work to transform it in a Museum.

Incredible museum by the Brazilian art collector and businessman Ricardo Brennand, one of the best I have visited apart from The Louvre in Paris.
I recommend at least 3 hours to browse through all the buildings and some more time if you want to sit down for a coffee in the lovely Cafe or eat something in the restaurant.
The Institute holds a permanent collection of historic and artistic objects of diversified provenience, ranging from Early Middle Ages to 20th century, with strong emphasis in objects, documents and artwork related to Colonial and Dutch Brazil, including the world's largest assemblage of paintings by Frans Post.
The Institute also houses one of the largest collections of armory in the world, with 3,000 pieces, the majority of which were produced in Europe and Asia between the 14th and 19th centuries. The library has over 62 thousand volumes, ranging from 16th to 20th century, including a collection of brasiliana and other rare items.

One of the best and most unique museums in the northeast of Brazil, if not all Brazil. A must-visit if you’re in the northeast!
The Dutch tapestries and the history of the Dutch in Brazil is fascinating, as is a vast building filled with thousands of weapons from the last hundred years. Add in the stunning gardens filled with capybara and monkeys strolling around and playing and this truly is a memorable place to spend a few hours.
Cafe and restaurant on site too.
Entrance is $50 BRL.

This is definitely one of the best museums in Brazil, probably the best outside Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. There is a wide variety of arts, from sculptures to painting, that cover different moments of history. The main exposition is about an important parte of Brazil, which is the Dutch occupation of the northeast, that happened in the 17th century. The building where the museum is gorgeous. The price (in Oct. 2020) is R$30, with half price for teachers and students. There is also a great restaurant there but it is quite expensive.

The Catedral da Sé (São Salvador do Mundo) in Olinda was founded in 1540 as the Matriz de Sao Salvador, serving as the oldest religious temple in the city and a symbol of Portuguese presence. Despite being destroyed in 1631, it was reconstructed in 1656 and reopened in 1677. Over centuries, it underwent various restoration and modification processes but still holds significant importance for preserving Olinda's historical-cultural architecture.
Beautiful views of Recife from here.

It is a very simple church with a beautiful view. Former archbishop Dom Hélder Câmara is buried inside the church.

Joaquin Cavalcanti, 458 amparo, Olinda PE casa Olinda (1.9 km from center). A historic building dating back to the 19th century rests in this city center. The accommodation offers free WiFi and a garden. It is located less than 1 km from Mauricio de Nassau's House and Pernambuco Convention Center.
Beautiful place. Be careful with local guides. First, ask for the exact price before the tour.

Nice historical center well worth a visit, museums and historical buildings daytime as well as cozy restaurants, coffee shops and bars efter dark.
Olinda is a colonial town on Brazil’s northeast coast, near the city of Recife. Founded in 1535 by the Portuguese, it’s built on steep hillsides and distinguished by its 18th-century architecture, baroque churches, convents, monasteries and brightly painted houses.
Originally a center for the sugarcane industry, it’s now known as an artists’ colony, with many galleries, workshops and museums.

Very nice place to visit close to Recife. Better to spend a day there then in Recife. You can really feel the colonialism in the air because of the several building in this style. A lots of color everywhere. Fantastic place.

Beautiful architecture and landscape around the temple, you feel like you're in another century. Inside the temple the people are very respectful and the celebrations on sundays 10 am are definitely worth paying a visit

The original church and buildings were burned when the Dutch invaded in 1631, but the Benedictine monks managed to save many of the precious artifacts of the monastery. The Dutch withdrew from Brazil in 1654 and the Church and Monastery were completely rebuilt between 1688 and 1692. Further details to the façade were done in the late 1700’s.
It is open to the public and for lovers of history, architecture or culture, and is free to visit.
