Recife, Brazil

Panoramic Recife

An Overview of Recife by Motor Coach Embark on a panoramic journey through Recife to discover its neighborhoods, heritage and artistic legacy. Board your motor coach and set out to explore this coastal capital, one of Brazil’s oldest cities. Travel along the Boa Viagem beachfront, pausing for photographs and refreshments at the beach before continuing through the Pina district to immerse yourself in its eclectic blend of old and new. Next, head to the historic heart of the city, Recife Antigo, home to the Rosa dos Ventos mosaic—designed by modernist artist Cícero Dias, this art piece is embedded directly into the pavement of Marco Zero Square and features bold, geometric shapes and strong primary colors. Take in the views, looking across the estuary to see the waterfront sculpture park, filled with large-scale ceramic sculptures by award-winning Recife-born sculptor Francisco Brennand, then return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
