Culture and history in Northeast Brazil

Did you know that Salvador and Rio de Janeiro were the first two capitals of Brazil? Did you know that Brazil was the last country to abolish slavery in 1888? Brazil is usually known for its natural beauties. But it actually has a lot to offer when it comes to culture and history. Among the best destinations for culture lovers are the old colonial towns of Olinda, São Luís and Salvador, but also Rio for its lively cultural life. If you wish to get to know Native Brazilian descendants, maybe you should head to Baía da Traição, a seaside village situated inside the Potiguara Indians reserve, or to Manaus to see the influence of the Indian traditions on this Amazonian city inhabitants’ way of life.
