Olinda Day Trip + Francisco Brennand Museum

Join us on a day excursion from Porto de Galinhas, where we will explore the colonial legacy of Olinda and immerse ourselves in the dreamlike art of Francisco Brennand, a prominent Brazilian artist of the 20th century.

Details of the Day Trip

After collecting you from your accommodation in Porto de Galinhas, we will embark on a journey to one of the most extraordinary artistic sites in Pernambuco: the Francisco Brennand Museum. Let’s begin our adventure!

Situated in a historic 19th-century brickworks and enveloped by vibrant Atlantic Forest, this museum serves as an artistic sanctuary. Over a span of 2 hours, we will navigate its intricate halls, which house an array of ceramic artworks, paintings, and tapestries. We’ll also stroll through stunning gardens crafted by Roberto Burle Marx, where Brennand’s creations harmoniously coexist with the lush surroundings, providing an unforgettable visual feast.

Next, our journey takes us to the enchanting Olinda, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Established in 1535, this colonial gem greets us with its iconic cobblestone inclines and vividly painted buildings. We will meander through its winding alleys, making stops to appreciate the exquisite centuries-old churches, monasteries, and convents that appear to be captured in time.

Along our route, we’ll be treated to breathtaking vistas from Alto da Sé, glimpse the lighthouse and historic forts, and take in the fragrant air filled with the scent of flamboyant trees that embellish the city. You’ll have leisurely time to enjoy lunch independently in Olinda before we commence our return.

After an engaging day of exploration spanning 7 hours, we will return you to your hotel in Porto de Galinhas.
