Alagoas

One of the best places to visit in the North East of Brazil.
The capital of Alagoas is Maceió, a very pleasant and relaxed modern city with its emerald easy sea and charming beaches. For the colonial experience you have to be at Penedo along the river Rio São Francisco.
Driving along the coast you will see many fishing villages with fantastic palm beaches. Between the fishing towns it is easy to travel by local busses which drive from North to the South along the coast.

Capital City: Maceió

Located between Aracaju (290 km) and Recife (260 km)
Besides the small historical part of the city, which is also the most commercial part, Maceió will give you a modern feeling. Over the last years tourists have found this region because of the splendid beaches and sea in specific between Ponta Verde and Praia de Jatiúca

Tourist Information
