Rio Pride Tour - Brazil Northeast

ABAV 1065

BRAZILIAN NORTH EAST

Brazil's Northeast has perfect weather and even more perfect beaches. From Sao Luis, in the North, to the Bahia Basin, in the South, the Northeast has over 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of virtually uninterrupted soft white beaches, while for the historically minded there is Salvador, the former Capital of Brazil with its 154 churches, most of which are treasured architectural masterpieces. Along the coast sit the towns of Fortaleza, Natal, Recife, Maceio, Salvador, and Porto Seguro, where Brazil was discovered by the Portuguese in 1500. The Northeast is Brazil's most folkloric region, folklore that is waiting to be discovered.

You'll spend three nights at four star hotels in Fortaleza, Natal and Maceió, a trip allowing you to enjoy the Brazilian northeast. FORTALEZA, the "Land of Light", with its 15 miles of beaches, is an enchantment: the boats sliding smoothly, the rhythm of "forro" and the hospitality of its people. Next stopover : NATAL, the capital of state "Rio Grande do Norte" known as the "City of the Sun", is famous for its gorgeous beaches and dunes, its "bonanza" gastronomy, varied handicraft and the hospitality of its inhabitants. You will finish off your tanning in MACEIO, the Paradise of Waters, a city surrounded by green and blue: the blue of the sea, warm and crystalline, framed by beautiful beaches and coconut palms, and the green of the lagoons Munda and Manguaba. Your hotels are located close to the beach in each city.

For your seven nights in Rio you stay at a selected Copacabana beach front hotel.
