Pernambuco is the cultural powerhouse of the Northeast, birthplace of frevo, maracatu and ciranda. Its capital Recife — the "Venice of Brazil" for its many rivers and bridges — is paired with the colonial gem of Olinda, a UNESCO World Heritage city celebrated for its giant puppets, colorful houses and one of Brazil's most authentic carnivals.
