Paraíba is one of the smallest states in Brazil, but it has a lot to see and enjoy.

In the north of the state are a number of Indian tribes and a center for the protection of peixe boi, an aquatic mammal threatened with extinction since the 1980s.

To the west is the city of Campina Grande where they have the world’s largest celebration of the festival of São João with 30 days of forro music. It is the traditional festival of the Sertão, a desert area of much of Brazil’s northeast. You can also take a ride on the Train of Forro.

Nearby you can rappel cliffs in the Sertão, see prehistoric stone engravings, and walk along a dry river with the footprints of dinosaurs (Dinosaur Valley).

There are places where you can travel by bicycle, following trails and enjoying the scenery. Visit one of the distilleries where cachaça is produced, tasting samples drawn directly from the ancient fermentation barrels. Or you can see the region of Cariri with its fantastic stones. The only limit will be your love of adventure and of your energy.
