Education Centre, Recife Brazil
Project Location
The project is located in Recife, a city on the northeast coast of Brazil, north of Rio de Janeiro.
Recife
Recife is one of Brazil’s major cities and the capital of the Pernambuco region of the country. It is located where the Beberibe River and the Capbaribe River meet and flow into the Atlantic, earning the city the nickname ‘the Venice of Brazil’ due to its numerous waterways and bridges. Recife is thought of as a capital of culture and as well as having the usual Brazilian party atmosphere, there are a number of beautiful churches and historical monuments left from the Portuguese and Dutch colonial period. Recife also has a host of great beaches and sophisticated shopping.
Free Time
You are expected to work a minimum of 10 hours a week on the project, but obviously, you can work a lot more than this. You will also only be working in the afternoon, so you have the mornings to explore Recife, or go to the beach.
Weekends are also free time and present a great opportunity to explore the surrounding area. In both directions out of the city you can find more gorgeous palm fringed beaches - to the south of the city, the golden sands are only interrupted by the little towns along the way. Inland, the landscape becomes hot and rocky, though the town of Caruaru boasts the largest market in the region.
Of course, you can just spend your weekends in Recife, relaxing, exploring and hanging out with all your new friends.
Getting There
Recife is served by Guararapes International Airport.
From Rio de Janeiro, for those doing the language school, you will need to take a short internal
flight from Rio to Recife. If you are not attending the Rio language school, you can fly straight
into Recife, where you will be met at the airport.
