The story
Imagine your group here
In Recife’s old port quarter, colonial streets now house one of Brazil’s main technology parks: Porto Digital, with 541 companies and 24,000 people.
Your group walks from a startup meeting to a museum about the culture of the sertão, then crosses the river to Olinda, a UNESCO World Heritage town where frevo fills the streets.
And for the reward, Porto de Galinhas and its natural pools are a short drive south.
