Stopped by the Rio de Janeiro

Between Itacaré in the north and Canavieras in the south of the State of Bahia, the Cocoa Route is becoming one of the must-see locations for those travelling to Brazil. On the 180km that separate the two cities, visitors will discover large farms where the manufacture of chocolate chips is at the heart of the activity, mangroves and a primary forest, "Mata Atlantica".

The fifth city of Brazil, situated in the north-east of the country, is generally forgotten by tourists. Despite a reputation that is sometimes a little rough, the city which unites large avenues, tall buildings and old colonial buildings, has something to charm you. In the surroundings, the city of Olinda and the beaches of Porto das Galinhas are much more popular among tourists.

Discover Recife and its surroundings

Although the reputation of the Rio carnival may have faded, it's not the only city in Brazil that knows how to party. The proof is in Salvador de Bahia, the capital of Nordeste where rumba rings in every street corner.

At 210 km from Fortaleza, on the road to Jericoacoara, Guajiru beach is still little known to travellers. This fishing village of 800 inhabitants is the ideal place to relax away from the tourist beaches in the north-east of Brazil.

On the way to Jericoacoara, our van stopped for a few hours at Guajiru beach. A few houses by the sea and colourful boats, Guajiru is still almost unknown to tourists. Some kite surfers go there at weekends and on public holidays to take advantage of the beautiful and almost deserted beach. 
During my journey, after an impromptu lunch in one of the fishermen's restaurants by the sea, I enjoyed the peacefulness of the beach. At low tide, the sea forms natural pools between the sandbars. It is lovely to swim in especially as the water, heated by the midday sun, quickly reached temperatures close to 30 degrees. 
Unfortunately Guajiru was not the final destination on this trip, as it was soon time to leave, and I regretted not being able to stay longer.
