Cathedral in Brasilian Jungle - Recife

4/2/2016

0 Comments

 
In the remnant Atlantic rainforest South of Rcife in north-eastern Brasil lies a domed Catholic cathedral hidden in jungle vines. It is on a hill chocked by rainforest about 100m inland from the Atlantic Ocean.

When I first visited the site a village guide directed a group of use through the jungle to the site. It was well hidden.

The Dutch first arrived in north-east Brasil in 1630-1654 but were soon defeated by the Portuguese who colonised instead.

The cathedral in the jungle appears to be a Catholic church from the time of Dutch and Portuguese colonisation. Only local seaside villages knew of its location. However, in recent years the land has been purchased by a private investor who has located the cathedral and plans to set it up as a tourist attraction.
