What our travellers think of their stay

Classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Sao Luis is a city in the north of Brazil, on the waterfront and is located on the peninsula sharing the same name which will charm travellers seeking colonial architecture.

My suggestion

It's better to come at the weekend to take advantage of the nightlife when bands perform in the bars because music is good in Sao Luis.

My suggestion

But if there's one town where you need to watch your back, it's here at São Luís. It's a hotbed of crime so don't go off the beaten track whilst you're here and carry as little as possible on you.

Trip on the Cocoa Route

Between Itacaré in the north and Canavieras in the south of the State of Bahia, the Cocoa Route is becoming one of the must-see locations for those travelling to Brazil. On the 180km that separate the two cities, visitors will discover large farms where the manufacture of chocolate chips is at the heart of the activity, mangroves and a primary forest, "Mata Atlantica".

Discover Recife and its surroundings

The fifth city of Brazil, situated in the north-east of the country, is generally forgotten by tourists. Despite a reputation that is sometimes a little rough, the city which unites large avenues, tall buildings and old colonial buildings, has something to charm you. In the surroundings, the city of Olinda and the beaches of Porto das Galinhas are much more popular among tourists.

Salvador de Bahia, immersion in the Bay of All Saints

Although the reputation of the Rio carnival may have faded, it's not the only city in Brazil that knows how to party. The proof is in Salvador de Bahia, the capital of Nordeste where rumba rings in every street corner.
