As Brazil is such a huge country, this tour
is only about the semiarid areas, found in the north-eastern part of the country.
This is my favourite environment, and I have found a few sights, which I also
find interesting, along a 3600 kilometre long route. As usually, the drive in-between
the sights is the main attraction.
Apparently, the area is mainly known for its beaches, which are of less interest
for me. I will visit a few, when I explore the old colonial towns along the coast.
