Day 1 – Arrival into Olinda

Upon your arrival you’ll be collected from the airport in Recife and driven the 30 minutes to your traditional accommodation. The picturesque streets of Olinda are perfect for a walk in the sun. Just outside your pousada you’ll see cobbled streets lined with 17th century pastel-coloured houses. Don’t forget to stop off at the Franciscan Monastery, its ceilings are covered with colourful frescos.

Your evenings are free to explore the various restaurants and bars, and take in the relaxed atmosphere of this little coastal gem.
