The Northeast Feature

Relaxing on some of Brazil's most beautiful beaches, with warm water all year and sand dunes high enough to ski down.

Wandering along the winding streets of Olinda as you gaze up at the beautiful colonial-era architecture.

Joining in the out-of-season Carnival celebrations in Natal and Fortaleza, two of the largest in Brazil.

The energetic Carnival in Olinda is considered to be among the best in Brazil, rivaling those in Rio and Salvador.

Try the amazing carne de sol, or sun-dried beef, as well as the other amazing Northeastern dishes using lobster, shrimp, and crabs.
