Riches and the beauty of the North East of Brazil Located on the coastline of the Northeast, Pernambuco boasts one of the most exuberant Brazilian landscapes. The colonial architecture of Olinda complements the post modern architecture of Recife. Caruaru is home of the biggest popular fair in the interior of the northeast; and in Petrolina, the St. Francisco river transforms the desert area into huge fruit plantations for exportation. With a cultural diversity like no other, Pernambuco is a cradle of popular artists and unique craft workmanship. Musicians of international and national recognition have found a spring of inspiration here. Our cuisine is special and exclusive: such as seafood - especially shrimp, lobster and octopus. A highlight is the flavor of our tropical fruits. See more www.pe.gov.br
