It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and shares land borders with the states of Paraíba to the north, Alagoas to the south, and Bahia to the west. The capital city of Pernambuco is Recife, which is known for its vibrant cultural scene, beautiful beaches, and historic architecture.
The state is characterized by a diverse geography that includes coastal areas, inland plains, and hilly regions. Pernambuco is famous for its rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music styles such as Frevo and Maracatu, as well as its distinct cuisine, highlighted by dishes like bolo de rolo and tapioca. The annual Carnival festivities in Recife and Olinda attract thousands of tourists and showcase the state's musical and artistic traditions.
Pernambuco has a rich history, playing a significant role in the colonial period of Brazil.
