Located just below the equator, Brazil’s remote north-eastern states provide a mix of superb off-the-beaten-track experiences and beautiful beaches. Find prehistoric rock paintings in the Serra da Capivara bushlands, while the Lençóis Maranhenses is a stunning natural phenomenon of sweeping white dunes and turquoise freshwater lagoons. The coastline here is cut by lush tropical deltas with largely untouched wildlife, unspoiled fishing villages, stunning beaches with small boutique hotels and relaxed resorts, and picturesque towns such as São Luís and Olinda. The Fernando de Noronha archipelago is a pristine ecological sanctuary with idyllic beaches and abundant marine life.
