Recife, Brazil

Catamaran & Casa de Cultura

Cruise Picturesque Waterways and Admire Local Arts and Crafts Cruise through Recife along the Capibaribe River through its maze of waterways on a catamaran. Nicknamed the “Venice of Brazil,” there are few better ways of getting to know the city. Marvel at the picturesque setting during your comfortable sail through this charming water network. See the colorful, opulent colonial buildings that line the banks of the river, dating back hundreds of years to the Portuguese colonization, and listen to historic tales. After your cruise, embark by coach to Casa de Cultura—a local arts and crafts center. Formerly a prison building, it now promotes local creativity, and serves as a market in which pieces of Afro-Brazilian art come to life. Use your free time to browse for the perfect memento before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
