Recife,
capital city of the
State of Pernambuco,
Brazil, is one of the
largest cities in Brazil (it's the 9th city by population, with over 1,500,000 inhabitants)...
A city of crime...
Recife is known nation-wide for being
the most dangerous major city in the country. Its metropolitan area has a rate of
69,4 murders per 100.000 inhabitants, which is bigger than in much larger
Brazilian cities, such as
Rio de Janeiro and
Sao Paulo, and more than twice the national average.
...and shark attacks!
In recent years, the number of shark attacks on the
beaches of Recife has dramatically
increased. Surfing has recently been outlawed on the urban beaches (Pina, Boa Viagem, Piedade, Candeias) because of the risk the sport poses.
Don't take any risk! Stay at home and
visit Recife and
Brazil on
TWIP! :)
