| Recife | bus to Salvador Posted: Tue October 27, 2009 02:12 AM UTC
We are two girls thinking of going by bus to Salvador from recife on 11/12th Feb 2010 for the Salvador carnival ( that starts on the 11th)
Does anyone know if this is possible (11th is a Thursday) We arrive in Recife onthe 8th so can't book until then. Do you think this is leaving it too late & it will be difficult to get a seat because of carnival. Also does anyone know how much it is, how long it takes or if you can prebook on line at all!!! Thanks |

| Recife | Social groups for young people in Recife? Posted: Mon March 30, 2009 02:39 AM UTC
Hi there,
My sister is an American graduate student staying in Recife for another four months (she's studying Art History there), and I'm trying to find ways for her to engage in more social activities. It would be wonderful if there were some sort of social group that she could do fun things with. She's 31, and speaks extremely good Portuguese. If any of you have any tips for us, please let me know! Thanks, Alexandra |

Hi! I'm travelling alone in March to this place and I wonder if it is a safe place for a girl? As far as I know, it is a very quiet place. I'm staying at Pousada Arandu...any comments about the destination and the hotel?

| Recife | Good news about shuttle... Posted: Fri February 15, 2008 02:56 AM UTC
The tour company will pick us up at the port!!! That is great news.
The next piece of news that they had for us...they will not drive us up the hill to Olinda. The tour says Recife/Olinda.... My question is.....does anyone know how steep or long this 'hill' is? Do you think we can walk up. It seems very strange and we've asked the tour director exactly what they mean by this. I thought I'd ask all you friendly, helpful folks. Thank you, Joyce |

| Olinda | In Recife for a few hours only: What to choose Recife or Olinda ? Posted: Sat January 12, 2008 07:20 PM UTC
On our cruise, our ship is docking in Recife from 8a.m. to 3 p.m. Hardly any time to see anything as we have heard that many sites are closed during lunch hour. What would you suggest that would help us get a "taste" of Recife or Olinda so that we can bring back interesting memories. We are interested in people and their customs mostly and are not attracted by beaches.
TIA for your input. |

| Olinda | Olinda info Posted: Wed November 21, 2007 03:31 PM UTC
Hello,
I have collected that Recife is not safe place. But what about Olinda. Both are only away 5KM. Is it Olinda quite safer and are there many tourists there ? Is there a nice beach in Olinda where tourists prefer or various beaches ? How big is the place ? If I stay in the city center how far is the beach. could i walk the area on foot or is not that small place? I have read one suggestion about accommodation to Pousada od Amparo. Anybody else has any other economic suggestions? Thanks! George |

| Pôrto das Galinhas | Honeymoon in Porto de Galinhas. Where to stay? Posted: Fri November 9, 2007 11:35 PM UTC
After debating between Jericoacoara, Arraial d'Ajuda, Maragogi and Porto de Galinhas, we are finally set on spending 10 nights in Porto de Galinhas (please let me know if you think another place in Brazil is better).
Now we are torn between where to stay in Porta Galinhas. I have heard that the Hotel Ponta d'Ocapora is really nice and has a great beach. BUT I have also heard that the Pousada Tabatiptaga is very nice as well (and more private). Can anyone give me their thoughts on which would be the better option? Thanks in advance! |

| Recife | Will I need a car? Posted: Tue April 24, 2007 03:48 PM UTC
I've been discussing a possible job in the Boa Viagem area of Recife. I've heard that Boa Viagem is one of the nicest areas of the city and that the city in general is very close to the ocean. One thing I'm concerned about is transportation. How feasible is it to live in Boa Viagem ithout a car? In other words, how expensive are taxis? And how extensive is the bus service? I imagine that during the week I'll be staying in Boa Viagem but on the weekends I'll want to do some exploring. Is there train service to other cities?
I've been living in Taiwan the past year and the main mode of transportation is 125 cc scooters. Would something like this be practical in Brazil? Thanks very much for any help. Tom |

| Recife | Information for exchange members? Posted: Sat September 23, 2006 01:17 PM UTC
Our Rotary district has entered into an exchage with the Brazilian district around around Recife. This will take place about a year from now and members have yet to be selected. There is no doubt that they will receive the best of attention from their Rotary hosts.
I was just wondering if there might be something that they should see or do not on the normal agenda to experience the local culture, economy, etc. I have discovered here that some of the best information comes from people that have only visited there. Having lived in a place all their lives, the locals don't always appreciate it. |

| Estado de Pernambuco | Pernambuco - Cocoanut Island? Posted: Sat July 8, 2006 09:40 AM UTC
Not strictly a travel question on this occasion (at least not yet) but I wonder if anyone can tell me more about Coconut or Cocoanut Island which is or was near Pernambuco. Looking for more information and photo's etc that might add to the interesting story of the voyage of the ship "Piako" in the late 1870's, see:
