Northeast

Northeast region

We talked a little bit before about the Northeast part of Brazil in this topic Cultural differences in Brazil, but let's be more specific about this beautiful area in Brazil. This region is composed of nine states, all of them are surrounded by the ocean, and differently from the other places in the country, the northeast part have clear ocean water where we can see fishes, it is more like the beaches in Caribbean. One example is Porto de Galinhas in the state of Pernambuco, it is also one of my favorites places in Brazil. It has a crystal water and is a calm place, far from the big cities. Northeast is also known by its sand hills. Where there are a variety of sports, car rides, and/or fun things to do on the top of it. Northeast is an amazing place to visit, even though has less reputation than bigger cities like Rio de Janeiro, where is also way more crowed and dangerous for tourists. If you are looking for heavenly beaches and places to visit, go to some of theses states. Prepare your camera because here it is fun guaranteed.

This region is full of festivals, the biggest one is the Carnival. Carnival is one of the main reasons the region northeast receives lots of tourists, especially in the cities of Salvador and Recife. Carnival in Salvador has the biggest street party in the world with more than 2.7 million people in its six days of party. This party counts with many of the most famous Axé singers of Brazil. Carnival in Recife is considered the street party with more cultural diversity in Brazil with frevo song, maracatu song and people dressed as giant dolls. It has also the biggest carnival group in the world, the Galo da Madrugada.
