Travel just north of Rio and you are
on the road to the “Costa do Sol” and its resorts set along the famous
beaches of Buzios and Cabo Frio. Or fly to one of the “northeast” beach
destinations like Forteleza, Recife or Salvador.
This was the first region of
Brazil to be colonized by Europeans, hence, an area rich and varied in
folkloric tradition. The beaches, with their white sands, warm waters
and clear skies are among the most celebrated in the world.
