HISTORICAL CITIES OF SERGIPE
Far from the sea and the São Francisco River, but close to the capital Aracaju, Laranjeiras and São Cristóvão are the historical version of tourism in Sergipe, known for their squares, churches and museums.
Just 20 km from Aracaju, Laranjeiras is protected by the IPHAN (Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage) and is usually a destination for daily excursions that make a return trip from the capital of Sergipe, whose buildings date back to periods of intense mill activity locals. .and the presence of the Jesuits in the 17th century.
São Cristóvão, which can be combined with Laranjeiras, on the same day, hides one of the most beautiful architectural sceneries in the state, Praça São Francisco.
This historic destination in the upper part of the city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010, thanks to its buildings dating back to the 17th-19th centuries.

YES FRANCISCO RIVER
Once a non-navigable and difficult to access area, these immense and narrow corridors of sculpted rocks on the São Francisco River emerged in 1995 with the construction of the Xingó hydroelectric dam, considered one of the largest in Brazil.
These dammed waters gave rise to the Xingó Canyon, located in a valley 65 km long and with an average depth of 150 meters, where it is possible to sail aboard catamarans, take excursions on small boats that cross the narrow corridors of the canyon and also practice Stand Up Paddling.
Almost 200 km from the capital Sergipe, the attraction is accessible from the municipalities of Canindé de São Francisco (SE) or Piranhas (AL).

ROLIÚDE NORTHEAST
The city of Cabaceiras is located 166 km from João Pessoa, in the middle of the semi-arid region of Paraíba, and has become famous throughout Brazil as the setting for more than 30 productions, including documentaries and national feature films, such as ‘Cinemas, Aspirinas and Urubus ‘, ‘O Auto da Compadecida’ and, more recently, the ‘Cangaço Novo´ series.
This destination of just over five thousand inhabitants, in the Cariri region, is considered one of the most touristy in the interior of Paraíba and is home to a historic center with colorful 18th century houses that always seems ready for another film production.
ARARUNA
165 km from João Pessoa, this municipality bordering Rio Grande do Norte has made its rocky surroundings the scene of adventure activities.
One of the new features is the Rhinoceros Park, a welcoming adventure complex for those who have no experience with activities of this type.
In an area of approximately two thousand square meters, the circuit begins with a mini via ferrata and continues with abseiling and climbing on small granite walls. The experience also includes a three-rope bridge and even an unusual surf on that stone world.

Another highlight of the destination is the human pendulum at the mouth of a rock, more than 300 meters high, it’s easy.
After tackling a steep path 600 meters long and with notable differences in altitude, the visitor arrives at Pedra da Boca, a natural formation in the Pedra da Boca State Park, on the border with the Rio Grande do Norte.
It’s like swinging with your head in Paraíba and your feet in Rio Grande do Norte, hoisted by a four-point anchor system that launches the tourist tied to a 30-meter long rope.
CASTELO ZÉ DOS MONTES
It all began in his childhood, when José Antônio Barreto had a vision in which a lady asked him to build seven churches, in different places.
Since that image appeared to him in 1941, there were 12 other apparitions until, now an adult, Barreto finally found the right address to build his church/castle.
Not completed, this work with surrealist contours can only be visited on weekends, in the Serra do Tapuia, in Sítio Novo, 120 km from Natal (RN), whose environments host rock halls and stone altars.
But the highlight is the curious labyrinth made of earth that represents the Via Crucis.

PLATE OF TABLES
This destination is one of those places where waterfalls cut dark stones in the narrow corridor of a canyon, the late afternoon paints enchanted stones set in the middle of the river and tourists have the feeling of being the first to arrive there.
In the southern region of Maranhão, Chapada das Mesas is made up of 10 municipalities and is known as ‘Paraíso das Águas’, where there are 89 official waterfalls (13 of which are right inside the Chapada das Mesas National Park), 22 perennial rivers and more than 400 sources.
The more adventurous must visit the Chapada das Mesas National Park, 80 kilometers from the municipality of Carolina, along roads where only 4×4 cars pass. For those traveling with children or those less willing to put up with the hassle, places like Poço Azul or the Pedra Caída Ecological Sanctuary are perfect stops.
