Coast: Northeast Coast of Brazil

The Northeast Coast of Brazil, ranging from the iconic coasts of Bahia to the exclusive Fernando de Noronha archipelago, represents one of the most spectacular tropical destinations on the planet. Bahia dazzles with its more than 1,000 kilometers of coastline, unique cuisine steeped in Afro-Brazilian heritage, samba and axé rhythms, and charming coastal towns such as Trancoso, Arraial d'Ajuda and Morro de São Paulo. For its part, Fernando de Noronha, an ecological sanctuary and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to some of the best beaches in the world (such as Baía do Sancho and Baía dos Porcos) with a virgin marine ecosystem ideal for diving. An unmatched combination of vibrant culture, paradisiacal landscapes and overflowing biodiversity.
