The itinerary begins in São Luís, the capital of the state of Maranhão, in northeastern Brazil. The city’s historic center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, filled with churches, buildings, and mansions adorned with blue tiles. Maranhão’s rich culture is also reflected in its local handicrafts, and a visit to the Center for the Commercialization of Handicraft Products of Maranhão is well worth it.
The local cuisine of Maranhão’s capital is another reflection of the city’s diverse colonial heritage.
