Recife, dangerous city? Bookmark and Share
By Bart, December 10, 2006 at 10:00:40 :: Brazil
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)...

Recife (Portuguese for reef), River Capibaribe


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! :)
