Safety and peace of mind

The north east coast is as a whole extremely peaceful and the level of security is incomparably superior to cities such as Sao Paolo or Rio de Janeiro. Apart from certain marginal or extremely poor areas, the foreign visitor is no more at risk in the villages and cities of the north east coast of Brazil than in Paris, Turkey or New York. There are many areas in which a car would not be stolen, even with the doors left unlocked and where a bag would not disappear from the beach, or if left in a bar, shop or restaurant.

To ensure that you are not a victim of crime on the north east coast of Brazil, it is enough to use your common sense and observe the simple security precautions, which are exactly the same as those which a foreign visitor should observe worldwide.
